57 Miles of Urban Bike

Now that it's cooler riding is a blast and I should be doing more of it, but I'm not. I have to run 2 companies and another new start-up, but those are really excuses. What's on my mind is a mountain bike, something that's been eluding me for years or ever since I stopped BMX racing years ago and went to street riding. I miss being rougher with a bike on the trails and in the streets. I need to adrenaline of jumping. So soon my carbon Trek will be joined by a carbon hard-tail by Ibis cycles.

None the less I was able to knock out 57 miles while also showing 2 properties to prospective tenants and checking up on a clients vacation home in the Woodlea historic neighborhood.

One of the properties I was showing was a triplex about to be purchased by one of my clients. I had started marketing it for lease before it closed with the permission of the seller of course. This is a nice hip and vibrant neighborhood, yet I was still surprised to see a nearly $200,000 Aston Martin in the parking spot in the alley: that price tag was higher then the value of the triplex. I don't know what it was doing there, but it was as out of place as a camel in Alaska.

The vacation home in Woodlea is a unique homes. It is one of very few Art Moderne homes in Phoenix and it even has many of the original lamp shades and hardware: it looks really cool and I love checking up on this home. Not everything old is cool, it must have some style and quality.
