Deceptively challenging route for 44 miles and 3,100 feet of climbing, but videos and pictures do not do this place justice. It was amazing. I would've LOVED suspension for this ride, as my body was beat to crap by the end of it on 35mm Continental Terra Speeds. Great tires for something like BWR SD, but I'll go with a 45mm tire next time on this route. Do this ride in the non-summer months to avoid the heat, obviously. Temps for Patagonia were forecasted at 83 degrees, but I saw 90 to 95 degrees out in the prairie area on the Garmin, so not too bad yet. I made the mistake of not taking my hydration pack and instead just had two 24 oz. water bottles, so needless to say I didn't drink enough and was rationing water so I wouldn't run out. My back and hip was wrecked after the first 12 miles with the climbing, due to an overall lack of climbing training since moving to AZ in 2021 and I think my bike fit is still slightly off a bit on the Merlin.....it was a painful slog for me most of the day just to maintain zone 2 power.
