Thursday’s commute home was a complete non-starter. Riding in that morning I was feeling fatigued and as the day wore on I couldn’t shake it. Overall, I just had this off feeling the entire day including a mild headache and bouts of dizziness, especially when standing up. I opted to…

Nothing like a little late night bike maintenance to convince you to ride the next morning. Patched and reinstalled the punctured tube from yesterday and moved the new unpatched tube back into my down tube. Also degreased and lubed the chain since it’s been getting noisier. Ride in went pretty…
Just when you think you can leave a job site to let folks finish up a job. On and off all Monday afternoon I was chatting back and forth with the technician at the SoM regarding the project we had been working on. After trying to troubleshoot the problems they…
Wow, just wow. I’m not sure what is more surprising, that I was able to complete this ride or how consistent I was compared to the last time I did this ride. Strava has me within a second and Garmin has moving time within 21 seconds. Seems crazy considering the…
Nice, steady, easy ride in this morning. Feeling super good and relaxed which was nice. Saw a couple regulars, and had a special interaction with a fellow cyclist. Was coming up on the Pecos Legacy Climb and spotted another cyclist grinding their way up. When I cam up along side…
Was asked to visit the School of Medicine today to help update one of their computer labs. Had to leave earlier than usual, but getting all these miles in today made it worth it. Commute to the SoM went really well. Always try to plan and expect for the worst,…
Went out on another group ride today, but this time with Green Valley Cyclists. Had to get up a little earlier than usual to get to the rendezvous by 6:00 a.m. The earlier start was nice to help beat the heat. Rode out to do the Lake Las Vegas Parkway…
One of the best things about having student employees is asking them for favors. Messaged one of my students asking them to pick up a replacement power meter battery on their way to campus, and just like that we’re back to normal. Felt really good and strong on the way…
Suffered a massive critical failure, power meter battery gave out around the halfway mark. Ridiculously fast ride in today. Klimat showing 10-15 MPH winds while Garmin saying 25 MPH, but all in agreement that they were mostly out of the south. PRs and stupid high overall rankings on many of…
I have to say the ride home wasn’t as bad as I’d thought it was going to be. Felt really good and tried to embrace the head wind as much as possible. Kept a nice strong pace without over exerting myself. Unfortunately going to pass on the commute tomorrow because…
