Choppy panoramic shot of the Arizona State Capitol and legislative chambers
I got out this morning for my first ride on my NEW new bike! Great ride. Rode from my apartment in Central Phoenix to downtown and cut West to the State Capitol. Between the Federal Courthouse and the Capitol, there were PLENTY of news crews and cameras out. The networks all have little tent studios set up in front of the Capitol building. It was kind of crazy. From the Capitol, I headed back toward Central Avenue, then South to Rio Salado Park. The park is usually pretty quiet, so I was able to pick up some speed along the river on the trail. It was great!
Lots of wildlife out this early... Rabbits, wetlands birds, and I THINK I saw a wild ferret (yes, they're rare, but there is a species of wild ferrets in Arizona).
On my way back through downtown, I wasn't really happy with my distance, so I tacked on another trip to the Capitol and back before heading home.
I got in 19 miles and burned TWICE the calories I would have burned in the same amount of time at the gym. Awesome!
