Anyone have a good route from west Phoenix (Surprise, Sun City) south toward Buckeye to eventually catch old US 80 near Gila Bend?
Thanks!,

Firstly I have no idea as I've never cycled in this area:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=Surprise,+AZ&daddr=buckeye,+az&ie=UTF8&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=86.365787,97.910156&z=11&ll=33.488153,-112.453308&spn=0.471299,0.63858&om=1
Shows the area - with the motor vehicle route shown.
I wonder what Sun Valley Parkway is like? Looks like its divided, with wide shoulders. A bit more out of the way, but few intersections.
Otherwise perhaps some of those 'undeveloped arterials' - farm roads 178th ave - west of 303?
What are you considering?

I definitely, positively recommend Sun Valley Parkway! I won't ride those farm-road-highways except for weekend mornings - it's a zoo out there

noisebeam,
Thanks for the reply. We are headed toward Buckeye, then old US 80. Here's a map of our route once we reach old 80 then south toward Ajo and Tucson. Green Line is Our Route (http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/forum/board/message/?o=lt&message_id=43808&v=k)

SandLizrd,
We cycle Olive out to White Tank all the time, but I've never been on this road on the west side of the mountains. You recommend it?
Thank you,
Airwick
