Someone has verified that the Indian School/32nd Chuy's is open?

yeah, I called them today, they were open, and open 'til 11pm.

[Michael]

Ya, I don't know ... it's a little far from my house. 

But I'll try to make it.

Yeah, whatever. See you there.

[Michael]

I have a request --

Can we go on this route, or something similar to it?

It goes between the McDowell Buttes, through Papago Park, in and out of the airport, and on to Mill Ave.

Have you submitted your 27b/6 ?


(a route similar is the plan, Stan! )

[Michael]

Have you submitted your 27b/6 ?

Ya, I'm even making sure that I put the new cover sheet on all the TPS reports before they go out.

So, I'm excited to ride through the airport.

I love going past Terminal 4 and hearing the engine echo off the walls, but really, the best part is the loop around after Terminal 3. You actually go up a steep hill, around a parking lot, and then back down the steep hill in a single lane --  it's like a freakin matchbox track. So much fun.

[Dietrich]

Not sure why, and I hate being a party pooper 'cause I'm almost always up for anything....but I have no desire to ride through the airport.

I was there just last night and I have to say that the Arrivals section would *not* be an enjoyable ride-through.
Ugh. Unless you have a snow plow or people-mover on the front of your car....

[Michael]

For the arrivals section, the road splits next to the terminals (with a sidewalk in between) so that one set of lanes is close to the building and handles pick ups/drop offs, and another set of lanes go straight past.

So, it shouldn't be a problem.

I think cruising the airport takes your "bike gang" level to a new low.

First of all, Tuesday nights at the airport are the busiest ... everyone knows that.

Wednesday nights, however, are practically traffic-less.

I think cruising the airport takes your "bike gang" level to a new low.

Randy's right, we'd be the baddest "bike gang" in town!

[pennyrobber]

Even without traffic, the airport is still the airport. Think, airport security and Phoenix police abound. Going fast enough to make it fun (and worth the trip) is begging for a ticket. Urban hooliganism is a fine art that requires discretion.

[Dietrich]

So...see everyone at Chuy's, NE corner of 32nd St. & Indian School at 7/7:30?

We'll eat, we'll joke around, we'll discuss riding routes to Mills End Cafe at the north end of Mill Ave!
