Started at 727am. It was cool at the start yet it warmed quickly. This route is always best to ride on a weekend since it crosses many intersections. It was fun today to revisit this route since it includes one of my favorite places of Sahauro Ranch in Glendale, mile 25.4. Sahuaro Ranch Park was not as busy as some other parts of the ride, which was a bit surprising. The ramadas were not crowded. At Peoria City Hall park, there was a hot-rod car show with lots of 30s' & 40s cars! They were all inside the green area of the Centennial Palk plaza at mile 22. The garden area of the park was closed for reconstruction so I had to figure a way around that at mile 22.2. Today I noticed a sign as I was leaving the park on the north side that read no bicycles. I have not seen such a sign when approaching from the south. Might have to walk the bike through this area in the future. Pioneer Community Park at mile 20.6 had every field occupied with a waiting line to get into the parking lot at mile 20.0 The part along the ACDC (miles 29.2 - 32) was clean, no debris from the recent rains. The grass was very long though! As a break I wanted to check out a new ice cream place at mile 42.2, Negranti Creamery, by The Sparrow restaurant ( in The Trailhead development). Nice little, usual ice cream shop. They make some things from goats milk!
