Riding the Canals
Yesterday we took an hour to bike on the paths along the irrigation canal near our resort. Check out the info about the canals which are hundreds of miles long and hundreds of years old. There are bike paths and parks along the way that are nicely landscaped.
This view is heading north along the canal...not a sight one sees in the midwest!
Residents have irrigation schedules when the canals are opened to dump water into their area.
This is the park side of the canal on the way back where there's also a huge "wash". When the rain comes in AZ it really pours so there are holding basins and washes all over to accomodate the overflow water.
We probably rode about 5 miles which is no big deal but my unused muscles really felt the activity. Guess I'd better keep moving every day!
