This is my bicycle ride to work in photographs. I live in Scottsdale and work in Tempe. I have been riding once or twice a week except when it is weekends when I am working and then I ride both Saturday and Sunday. If I do work the weekends the time is more my own rather than eight to six drill and I tend to be more leisurely about riding there and back.

This is the bike path that runs by the Botanical Gardens next to Papago Park. The butte in the picture is one of the Papago Buttes. Phoenix has been good about putting in bicycle paths. There is a large greenbelt which connects Hayden up to the different canals and parks. There is a similar greenbelt running along 68th and Priest as well. This path is part of that.

This is the spring training stadium of the Oakland Athletics. A lot of Baseball spring training is done in Arizona as the weather gets nice here quickly in spring when the North-East of the United States is still under three feet of snow.

Tempe Town Lake is a man-made lake the borders along the north of Tempe and is along the route of the old Salt River. The dam walls are rubber and one of them famously burst recently. The dam has been repaired and refilled with reclaimed water bought with water credits by Tempe.

At the top of Mill is where they were holding the Arizona Ironman race. The park on Tempe Town Lake was the marshalling area. The competitors swam in the lake as the swim leg and then rode out from Tempe and ran back to there. The finish line was on the top of Mill with A Mountain in the background.
