Well, that fuckin' sucked

Heading East, uphill out of Superior, AZ. Narrow road, lots of traffic, even on a Saturday morning (when you have purposefully stopped on Friday in town, the day before, to hopefully have less motor vehicle traffic. It is less; but it is still a lot of traffic. Lots of trucks pulling motorboats to the Coolidge Dam reservoir, it looks like.)
No accommodations for non-motorized travelers after the bridge over the dry Queen Creek, just a sign before the Queen Creek Tunnel, admonishing motorists to move over to the right, closer to the non-motorized people. And there are two of us, plus our friend Don, plus two other loaded bike tourers, plus two sag-supported bike tourers, plus a woman hiking it.
About 3,000 feet of climbing out of town, with stressful conditions the whole way up; and then also on the downhill after "Top of the World". Lame. And the AZ DOT makes it even worse by putting "move right" signs before tunnels and rumble strips right beside guard rails - IN the "bike lane" (in the few places there was asphalt to the right of the fog line.) Stupid, dangerous, lame.
