With warmer temps, we did a tandem ride mostly on the loop today. There is a nice 30+ mile loop we do on the northern portions of the bike path ( loop ) and a 5 mile stretch on a connector road with a wide shoulder. The flowers on the first portion were amazing. We even ran into a rattlesnake while on this section. The bike path infrastructure is pretty cool out here. They have path cloverleafs, under passes and over passes. A new leg was just added and finished last year. Next time we go, we can park closer to our house.
There is a new pump track in Oro Valley that is scheduled to open in a month. It was along our route today so we tried to take a peek. It looks amazing! It was said to cost $700,000. all paved. I do not have pictures as it was still barricaded and had a few cops hanging out in front, so we did not try to cross the closure line with our bright red tandem. I hope to get back there and check it out some day.
