Thursday Mar 14th - Bike Tucson

Derek, Bob and Sarah, water break

Geeky but happy riding

Aviation Way Bicycle path, into Tucson.

We were originally going to wander round the street sale they were having in the RV Resort and then do catch up, but wandering around we saw a few people togged out in their cycling gear and on inquiry they were cycling into downtown Tucson, having lunch and cycling back. So we bombed back to our 'condo' and clambered into our cycling gear and we were off!! 10 of us headed into Tucson. This city is VERY bike friendly and most of the way we were tootling along dedicated bike paths, and any roads we were on had bicycle lanes at the side. It was about 91-93 degrees (f), but it only felt hot when we had to stop for traffic lights etc. There is little to no humidity here in the Sonora desert. We made it to a pub patio and had a great lunch, then tripped through the University of Arizona campus and then back to the RV site. By the time we got back we were ready for a swim. The ride was 44km and the return journey was quite hot. So we changed into our swim suits and headed for the pool.... AAAHHHHH!! I think our sighs of ecstasy raised a few eyebrows amongst the sunbathers, but we didn't really care at that point. Another lovely day in this lovely city.
