I think 12th Street is the furthest west I've taken my bike, so I've never ridden in the areas you were in. I was on the Arizona Canal trail on Sunday, but upstream in Scottsdale.

If you're up for some sunrise riding on the weekend, let me know if you'd like a guide for some of the East Valley trails. This time of year, I do all my leisure rides before the sun gets strong.
