20 minutes, - an hour to get out of town... I can ride from my house, get 80+ miles in and mebbe see one traffic light and even its not a real one. Just one of those caution lites. Our roads are well paved, have decent shoulders, fairly free of the misguided redneck motorist, and the weather is generally fairly good. Its reasonable here 11-11 1/2 months of the year.
Take that you left west coasties!

Ho, ho! It takes you an HOUR to get out of town in Tucson, Arizona?!?!
Takes me 20 minutes here in the Pasadena area and I'm climbing up Angeles Crest where I can climb from 750 ft. elevation to 7900 ft. elevation in a 50 mile ride.
Back to you Craig... Try that in Arizona!
