Well after 18K miles of commuting it finally happened. Fell victim to a right hook at the intersection of LVB and Wigwam. I was cruising about 20 MPH up to a red light and it went green before I got to it. I saw the white Audi start to roll…

For the past couple days the weatherman has been talking about a change in the weather for the worst starting on Monday. Late last night I pulled up weather.com to see when it was supposed to hit. A wind advisory would start at 10:00 a.m. with the winds really picking…
This ride certainly got started off on the right foot. I climbed to the top of Democracy like I do with most of my rides including my commutes. Shortly after rounding the corner onto Democracy I spotted an older gentleman walking and he stopped after he saw me. I must…
Another beautiful day, another wonderful commute. Had a great breakfast with Moose and the family. Plenty of chit chat about how our weeks were turning out and talk of weekend plans. Sadly nothing much more than that to report. Overall pretty chill Friday rides. New bike fund: $122.55 (+$0.01), €1.52,…
It’s kinda crazy how warm it was this morning. I guess the cloud cover kept in the heat from yesterday. I very nearly could have done both the in- and out- ride in full summer kit. The ride home felt significantly longer than usual without the Moose escort. Guess I’ve…

Another Friday, another breakfast commute. It was a busy day at work conducting interviews. I’m trying to hire one or more students to work in my labs and free up my technical student. I had interviews all day and the last one ended around 4:30. So I spent the next…
Original Bandok title: People say nothing is impossible. But I do nothing all the time. Another absolutely gorgeous day for riding. Not entirely sure what it was, but I really enjoyed the last couple miles of the ride to work. I pulled up to campus and was just thrilled with…
First morning commute in shorts for the year. I did opt for arm warmers though. We’ve been truly blessed with an incredibly mild winter. Especially when compared to what’s been going on back east. No arm warmers for the ride home, and the wool base layer was almost too much.…
What an absolutely amazing day. Earlier this week knowing I was traveling to Southern California, I planned on reaching out to Joey Ducut about getting together for a weekend ride. At around the same time he posted an Adobo Velo KOM Challenge training ride which would ride up into the…
