What a glorious way to spend a Saturday morning: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trywhy and I visited two farmer's markets and Lux, and did probably around 35 miles of biking on pretty much every kind of bike-able surface aside from crazy mountain biking trails. I forgot to set my odometer before we set out. The best part was spotting a giant red stuffed hippo wearing boxing gloves, floating along the Grand Canal.
The market at Vincent's was...okay. There isn't much reason to go back, although it was a cute experience to try out. I got to meet one of the jam-makers whose jam I have bought at Whole Foods before. They also had pretty-good pastries and some awesome tasty mustard.
At the Downtown Phoenix Public Market, I realized that the bakery that makes the sandwich bread that I buy is actually a pleasant bike ride away in Scottsdale. I smell another expedition...
It's really fun to have a biking excursion buddy. With two bikes, it's just so much easier to occupy an entire lane and force cars to go around.
Edited to add... I forgot to mention the insane lighting shop called Hinkley's Lighting Factory, which I'd gone past before but had never stopped in. Let's just say there were some whacko $50,000 chandeliers in that place. It was amazing and surreal.
