I give you credit for riding 100 in that horrendous Phx traffic. My husband is flying home today, after being there for a week dealing with ailing parents. He brought his Bike Friday and did 2 shortish rides. He said the 7.5 mile ride from his parents apt. to our old house in south Tempe was frightening... and this from someone who is a fearless rider. He told me that when he stuck his arm out, way in advance to move into the lane for a left turn, nobody would let him in!
Next time we go out, I will definitely be calling you for routes that are WAY far away from my old neighborhood!
Good luck with the IMAZ.
