After 24 hours of rain - some really heavy stuff Monday night - it was back to sun and fun of the two-wheeled kind.

Meandered over to the old neighborhood and surrounding environs and waxed nostalgic for a couple/three hours.

Arizona Canal Trail:



Cactus Park Pool, where I did a lot of suntanning and diving in the early 80s:



This used to be the local Raleigh dealership at Peoria and 35th Avenue - where I bought my '80 Super Course 12. Sadly, it's been defunct for at least 20 years:



Once more around the hairpin since the mall is still standing...



Sculpture detail at Cortez Park:



Looked up, saw the street sign, and just had to stop to get this photo:



Whoah - WTF?



Anybody else wonder what it looks like INSIDE?



Our old place on Paradise Drive:



My big toe, left foot, has been giving me issues on the past couple rides. Today was no exception, but at least it waited until inside the final 10 miles; here I am giving it a rest:
