I rode from Tempe to Casa Grande today. 52.7 mostly flat miles, but some uphills near the end. I’m staying at a nice Best Western and haven’t yet decided if I want to take a rest day tomorrow or grind on to Tucson and take my break there. I walked up this evening to a sushi place called Señor Sushi. It was good fare and they had Kirin draught beer. Mmmm. Here’s the map from today, you can click on it for details:
Leaving Tempe
Overpass on the Interstate
Fooled by a building sign. It said home of the Padres and I thought it was something to do with the San Diego Padres, but it’s just a school with the same mascot.
Wound through a lot of pretty subdivisions to get out of Tempe.
Thought I had to climb these mountains. Gulp. The road went through a pass between them instead. Phew.
My first tumbleweed spotting. He’s cute, eh?
Some sort of monument teepee made out of stone and beer bottle glass.
The temp hit 95 around here.
