Pre Tour de Scottsdale

Well about 20 insane cyclists decided to pre-ride the course for the upcoming (October 4th) Tour de Scottsdale this past Saturday. Most rides here in the Sonoran desert are...well...dry, but Saturday was quite the exception. The remnants of Hurricane Jimena provided driving sideways rain...lots of lightening...and water on the roadway up to 6-8 inches deep. It was a brutal and glorious day in the saddle...an epic ride.
