Another great ride: Sunny, warm (high 60's), little wind. The only drawback was hav-ing to stop for so many traffic lights. I think I would have averaged near 17 mph had there been none. I rode 37.2 miles, but it had to be the longest 37 miles I have ever rid-den - not because of being tired, but because…I don’t know why. Maybe it seemed that way because there was so much distance between turns.
Parts of the ride were beautiful. Wide streets with bike paths on many of them; however, when there were no bike paths, the drivers of Palm Desert are just like everywhere else, they have little regard for cyclists – drive too close, try to get around onlhy to have to stop at a light, etc. Too bad…Thankfully though, most drivers are very courteous and considerate. Back to the beauty…lots of flowers in neighborhoods with gardeners tending them…green, green grass in the desert…beautiful craggy mountains in the background. Lots of reasons to ride your bike and Palm Desert and area has most of them.
