I have unfinished business - the last 10 miles of my ride. I walk off to the local bike store near the University of Arizona. Here's some shots of the neighbourhood front lawns along the way:

And these are the student residences on the University Campus - funky building in centre is a parking lot:

I buy three tubes, a new pump and a full new patch kit, plus get a shipping box for tomorrow's flight back and walk back to the hotel:

And then I cycle out 20 miles to beyond the point where I had yesterday's last flat, turned around and cycled back in:

Mile 130 - Tucson city limits - "Bicycle Friendly Community"

Well, I pedal through town towards the airport and cross the Nogales Highway, which was my starting point from my earlier "Tucson to El Paso" trip

and grandly said to the Ajo Highway / Nogales Highway intersection:

"The Present joins to the Past"

and notice that I have another flat.

Then a cab roared by with horning blaring and the cab driver shouting "Get off the &^%$ road!"

"Bicycle Friendly Community" indeed.

Daybreak and time to fly home.
