Pleasant surprise that this was a decent route. Roads were mostly good. Bike lanes, decent shoulders or low traffic with no shoulder for most of the ride. Goodyear was a nice town to ride through. Passed Dillon's Shark Experience…chose not to experience it though. Scored with a great stop the the Safeway gas station at Peoria and Cotton. Manager was awesome. Asked if I could use the bathroom and bring my bike inside instead of leaving it outside to be taken. Not only was he cool about it, he walked me into the beer cooler (nothing strange there) and said I could leave it in there to cool off :). Did stop at a Circle K in Goodyear, but they were so busy, they didn't even notice that I walked in with my bike and topped off my bottles at the soda machines. Got on the bike by 8:15am this morning. So getting better…except I was aiming for 7:30. Oh well. I blame it on the new mineral based sunscreen I am trying to use. Took like an hour to rub that stuff in! Also traffic from the house to south of the 303 on Grand sucked at that time!
