Mt Lemmon 100k

This route travels from Le Buzz Coffee (a popular hang out for Mt. Lemmon Cyclists) up Mt Lemmon on Catalana Highway. Turn around is at the top of Mt Lemmon in the town of Summerhaven.

Terrain: Flat to rolling for the first few miles to the base of the mountain. Then a 25 mile climb to the summit. Return the back way along Soldier Trail and Tanque Verde.

FAQ:
Mt Lemmon is one big hill – will I make the checkpoints on time?

Answer: It’s not certain that everyone will make the checkpoints, but things are stacked in your favor. For one thing, the hill climb comes in the middle of the ride. If you ride to the mountain at a moderate speed, you’ll have money in the bank. Don’t kill yourself getting up the mountain, but don’t take long breaks, either.
