May 2, Day 38 Cycling Scottsdale to Wickenburg, AZ

Left at 630 this morning to try and beat a bit of heat. Cycling west and NW with a tailwind for 28 miles on bike paths across the Valley of the Sun/Salt River Valley/Phoenix Valley. Oh baby that was nice!! Twenty-four different municipalities in that huge valley.

Then we were on roads and highways still north and west and a bit busy with Saturday traffic headed to play on the water at Lake Pleasant. Met up with the very dry Hassayampa River and on in to Wickenburg – the dude ranch capital of the world!! Don’t have time to do any dude ranchin’.

74.9 miles 1929’ with a beautiful E/SE wind across some very dry southwestern AZ terrain. I saw a mileage sign for Las Vegas and Los Angeles! That was a bit trippy!! 👏 👍
