Riding again through Oro Valley. Some views are slightly impacted with an abundance of power and phone lines.
Rode through Oro Valley Marketplace, past a huge tree and arts & crafts fair.
A creative use of a saguaro cactus!
Closing on Saddlebrook, north of the town of Catalina, lots of great views. Finished with 45 miles. Given this awesome stretch of above normal temps in the upper 70s and lower 80s, I should be riding longer.
Ohio friends sometimes comment the only green grass is on the golf courses but no! Lots of green grass elsewhere.
And then, I descended Fort Lowell Road on the east side, hit a bump and my ear bud popped out, landing somewhere in this thicket. Only later did I read that in such situations, I should turn up the volume and the noise would lead me. Rats, didn’t think of that at the time.
One of my favorite restaurants is Harvest, sitting on the patio. Unfortunately, a coffee shop is being build which will have some impact on the news and with extra noise too.
A wonderful evening to sit on my patio!
