Early morning activity

Post by Stikpusher »

This morning I did a nice little bike ride a bit after sunrise. Another monsoon rain blew through last night around 3am and left just as the sun was coming up. It was a bit cooler, in the low 80’s, but quite muggy. At the end of the road where “civilization” ends, I stopped, took a few photos, and then rode on back home…

End of the road… that way is wilderness and eventually, Mexico

Yours truly at the end of the road…

I rode 12 mi./20 km this morning. Keeping it short at this time of year to beat the real heat. It was actually pretty pleasant this morning, hot but not too hot.

Cool! A dead end road. It's been used metaphorically to death, but here our own Carlos is standing on it for real.
Not much traffic there, eh? Must be a lovely place to ride your bike until the Californian sun rises and makes that tarmac a frying pan.

Thanks,

Yup… a real honest to goodness end of the road… there are actually quite a few around here… lol! And no, not much traffic on this particular stretch… that starts about a km down the hill at the entry to a senior community… :shocked:

S/W edge of Goodyear… and yes, it was a great way to start the day.

You can say that again! Another reason to ride early, as they don’t come out of there until later in the day… :giggles:

Thanks Mark. I love it here, although I do t think I would enjoy being in the middle of town so much. Being on the outskirts make it much more enjoyable. You could likely sell your place there, get a bigger place here, and then go to work here in your field with no problem. There is so much construction going on in the whole Phoenix area.
