It's a beautiful ride - pretty much a steady 5% for most of the climb until you get towards the ski resort, then it picks up to about 9-12% and it gets even steeper as you head towards the observatory.
The decent is a freakin' blast though :)

More Mt. Lemmon....such a beautiful ride. Been closed for quite a while now due to wild fires, unfortunately.

Which shows the empty road ahead?

Not sure this qualifies for true empty road ahead, but this is the countryside where I ride bike. This uphill sometimes gets the better of me and I stop and take in the view, really to recover the breath.

This second pic is just after putting that hill behind me. But I think that is another day ride, since the light direction doesn't seem to be the same.

Another spot in the area where I often take a break and take in the view. This one surely qualifies for open road ahead. Mostly I never need to wait for cars to clear out, it is very seldom I see one indeed.
I got new (secondhand) carbon bike and am itching to return to EU to ride on these roads there.

Wow, there is definitely a hint of fall in the air. Some trees are just beginning to turn. I saw lots of turkeys. Another majestic ride!

Not quite empty but, a spectacular road none-the-less. US 550 outside of Ouray, Colorado, also known as The Million Dollar Highway. Lots of fun to drive in the winter on the way to Telluride :)

Last monday I organized a watertower chase contest for myself, which I also participated 🤫.
I did a 37km roundtrip with my bicycle and I found the tower first 😎.

Don't need to explain all the preparation, planning, research and exploration that came along with this major event in my life.
