Hey @LesterOfPuppets, I’m in town for this conference and tomorrow evening mr h arrives with my bikes. Sat midday we leave for New Mexico.
Im thinking of riding around dawn for an hour on Sat morning, I need to be to my conference at 8am, so back to the hotel around 7am.
Im in downtown Phoenix so it looks like South Mountain Park is closest.
Questions:
1. Ok for me to ride there solo around dawn? Are there sketch people or is it pretty safe?
2. Wanna ride? Disclaimer: im thinking 5am.

I signed up for the French Creek Iron Tour Century which is on Sunday.
If anyone cares, here is the course. Looks like it will be good weather.

Also, today is the boy's last day of school for the summer. Normally, I'd be really pumped for this, but recently, the boy and girl have been a frustrating handful of endless bickering when together, so I gotta get this figgered out before strangle one of both of them.

I've lately been cruising the mechanics forum. And I've noticed an interesting thing. Either the modern bike crowd suffers no mechanical problems with their bikes or they are not inclined to attempt the repairs themselves. That is all.
And on that same note, I realized that in 3 short years, I'll be riding a fifty year old bike. Sobering, in a manner of speaking.
I continue to suffer with this cold. It might cause the cancellation of my trip to visit the grandchild tomorrow morning.
