LarryMelman:

Have ridden through and in Phoenix area (including the Answer to the AZ Challenge, the El Tour de Phx, 3-day Southwest Tandem Rally, etc). Rode in the Phx area (Peoria) this year.
I prefer Tucson riding better than Phx . . . anytime; and, yes, I may be prejudiced because I live in Tucson.
Do grant you that Phx's Mormon-style street designations (for the most part) are easier to figure out than Tucson's. But 83rd Ave I was on suddenly shifted from going N and S, to E and W. . . Yikes!
Perfection, even in Phx, is as difficult to achieve as in 38+ states I've bicycled.
