The first 35 miles of this day was a long grade downhill and we made really good time. Then we hit the Phoenix suburbs and were rode city streets and bike trails and the next 35+ miles took 3 hours with all the stops and starts. We ended up at an RV place on the fringe of Tempe and the Arizona State campus and it's lite rail. Seems like a great spot.

So sorry we are going to miss this festival - I bet it brings out a real interesting crowd!
I just love these saguro cactus, we'll see lots more of them before this trip is over!
TBlue lupine, yellow daisys and orange (don't know what they are) wildflowers in profusion!
Phoenix and Tempe have a great urban bike trail system with underpasses under busy streets and that runs along a regular canal and a flash flood canal.
The flash flood canal - it's HUGE!
The light rail ran right by our RV place and runs right through the Arizona State University campus - we rode it from end to end. Tempe and the whole Phoenix area is awash with empty commercial buildings. It's obvious that the economy here is struggling.
On the ASU campus...
