Today was a good day. Thomas Voeckler just had a heck of a ride today in the TdF. We keep saying we need to get out of the house earlier, but we keep watching it anyway. Today was a really good stage. After the Tour, we got the road bikes out. First we checked out a new bike path. They were working on this last summer when we were here. It never occurred to us that it was a bike path, we thought it was a new freeway off ramp. But it's for bikes, it links a busy intersection in Factoria with shopping. They made a retaining wall and everything.
Then it was down an older trail to Renton. We're enjoying the effect of spending 30 days in Bend, and riding at 4,000 feet. We still have many extra red blood cells, which is making us feel young. I got my heart rate up to 155 bpm and stayed in normal sinus rhythm the entire ride.
On the way back we stopped and looked at this sign. The burgundy area is a superfund clean up site that has yet to be cleaned. Just south of the burgundy area is a new housing development, with prices ranging from from $600k to the low $2 millions.
Superfund site.
New neighborhood.
Is it just me; would you want to live next to a Superfund site? They produced creosote, coal tar and other hazardous products. I think if I had $2 million, I might look elsewhere.
Other than this, maties, I have nothing interesting to report.
For two million dollars you can live in the fanciest neighborhood in the fanciest house here in Tucson...... can't wait to hear your impressions of my town!
