It is so hard to go through all the steps required for a long ride when the temperatures are below freezing. Looking at my watch first thing freaked me out even more when it said 26°F. I grabbed my phone and checked a couple weather apps and found that the…

Father Winter has finally entered the chat, at least for the next couple days according to the weatherman. Compared to a week ago it was brutally cold this morning, and cold like this makes it hard to get out and ride. While I was outside getting ready I decided to…
It certainly felt a little cooler leaving the house this morning, and watching this morning’s weather forecast I’m not looking forward to this weekend. I guess I shouldn’t complain considering the run of great weather we’ve had over the past two months. Besides from the look of the forecast we…
Another tough Tuesday night ride. I felt pretty good all things considered. Dave mentioned that he’d “done some high intensity stuff this morning and I’m feeling it” and I could tell. He wasn’t pushing the pace quite as much as he regularly would. It really showed along the Lake Mead…
Remember kids if you get a flat during a ride patch or replace your spare tube before going out on your next ride. It’s probably for the best if you do that replacement the moment you get home. I’ve been experiencing a rash of flats since Tuesday’s night ride. Always…

Got fenders, will travel. Got lucky and only had decent rain along LVB between Volunteer and Cactus. Outside of that the morning wasn’t all that wet, and the ride home was just wet roads with some standing water here and there. Perfect excuse to forgo Flamingo and Pecos for a…
I’m thrilled to be back on the bike for the first time since Tuesday evening. I took a trip to SoCal this past weekend and, because I had previous family plans, a ride to the beach wasn’t in the cards this trip. The legs are feeling fantastic after the minor…
An interesting change of route for today’s rides. As I mentioned in a previous post, during Friday’s Scrambled breakfast I ended up working a filling loose in one of my teeth. Today was the earliest they could work me in. I decided last night I’d try to stick with my…
