This looks like a regular road and it is. Except, no motorized vehicles. Just pedestrians and bikes. And golf courses, mountains, and desert scenery.
Going into Tucson in on a slight decline, so that's a breeze. Coming back is more work. It was extra work for me because my new (used) bike had a tire explosion when on the drive back. We had gone about nine miles south, turned around and about four miles into the return trip I hear a huge pop! So I had to walk my bike back for quite a while.
Here is the flattened blow out.
This is my bike resting against a Palo Verde tree while my companions went ahead and got the car to retrieve me. Made for a disappointing event. However, the trail is fantastic and it's a pleasure to ride without once worrying about autos. The trail crosses major streets by going under them. I hope to get a new bike, one that's not so heavy and with fresh tires, and begin again. This is the second bad experience I have had buying a used bike in Tucson. Never again!
