Featured Super Bowl Sunday In Southern Arizona: Our Pre-game Shindig

@Old dumb arse
As I've said before, ODA, that new GF certainly does sound like a gem! There are certainly tons of local dives and places to get great hot spicy food around where I live. If you ever get out this way, look us up and we'll give you the grand tour. And if you're on bikes we can do that great ride down to the Wagon Wheel Saloon.

Wow, 19 degrees last year and 73 this year. That's a crazy temperature difference for the same time of the year!

 

Memories are a beautiful thing, Mark! Hopefully you'll be able to make some new memories soon.

 

Thanks, @Warren71! I'm sorry to read about your crummy weather. Hopefully you'll be able to get out soon for a little moto-therapy. Yes, the Wagon Wheel Saloon is the newest "gem" to add to my list. But you are absolutely right that half--probably well more than half--the main point of our rides is the journey itself. Kinda makes me wish I had a GoPro latched on to my helmet so I could also share the beautiful sights along my favorite ride routes here in Arizona. And this Patagonia ride is one of my favorites nearly "staples" on our ride choice list.

 

That's cool, @Warren71! But being from Tucson, home of the University of Arizona, I have to say I think your son should rethink his choice of Arizona schools. Like in most states, there is an intense between Arizona STATE University and the UNIVERSITY of Arizona. I'm also quite partial to the Tucson area over Phoenix.

But either way, the weather right now is absolutely gorgeous whether you're up in Phoenix of 100 miles south of there in Tucson. Hope you enjoy the trip! Would love to hear how it goes and what your oldest decides. What other schools are on his list if you don't mind me asking?

 

Hi, @Warren71. Gee, I thought I'd responded to this post of your way back when. Maybe I wrote it and forgot to hit the Post Reply button. Anyway, any progress on your son's college choices? I'd still lobby hard for UA over ASU and Tucson definitely has a WAY smaller town vibe than Phoenix. But if I were back that age looking at college options and my dad wanted me to consider UCSB, I'd be all over that! I love the ocean and there's definitely no ocean in Tucson. Or Phoenix. Yesterday one of my nephews matched with Vanderbilt for an anesthesiology residency. It was his first choice so he's super excited. I've never been to Nashville but Mr. Sandi has good friends who live there. So now we have double the reason to scope it out. It's certainly not the West, though! Please wish him well with his decision from me. It's an important--and exciting--choice!
