Today's route was more or less an extension of our usual 40 mile Greenbelt route, tacking on a couple laps around Tempe Town Lake and riding the distance from Phoenix to Tempe and back. Here's the elevation profile and map:
Since it was pretty warm - and dry - out today, we had to make sure to stop to hydrate EXTRA. I made sure we stopped for lots of water... But I hadn't really stretched much before we set out, so I made sure to get a little stretching and hydrating in at the same time. It's an efficiency I've been working on for a little while. What do you think?
For as hot as it was, it was an absolutely beautiful day in Phoenix. Scott and I made sure to take some photos up in Scottsdale. In a week, we'll be able to start posting some beautiful ocean shots. Stay tuned!
Scott blew a flat on one of our final laps around the lake and I decided that I'd let him try to change it on his own. Turned out to be a cactus spine through his tire and tube. Scotty made a couple "rookie mistakes" but did a pretty good job of changing his tube altogether.
Tomorrow: Downtown Phoenix to South Mountain, up to the summit, and back home!
