Rode this morning to the annual statewide traffic engineering conference. The meeting is at a hotel in the northeast area of Phoenix which doesn't have a lot of nearby motor vehicle parking, so riding is actually more convenient. My route is along quiet residential and collector streets, some independent shared-use paths, and even a couple hundred feet along a rocky desert trail, so I shouldn't complain about the travel. Took the alumicruiser (with a replaced rear tire) with a pannier and baskets for the backpack and clothes.
Also encountered some ancient and mysterious obelisks...
