Finally a commute. Have really been missing these rides and was bummed about yesterday’s wind forecast. While today is forecast to be only marginally better, I forced myself to ride in anyway. Sure I may regret it on the way home, but for now I’m elated and as they say…

That was a much more enjoyable ride than the one on Wednesday. Last night I mapped this out and stuck to the plan despite the nagging voice in my head saying, “Hey let’s cruise UPRR out to Nevada State.” when I made it to Acacia Park. Can definitely see myself…
There are times when I need to listen to the little voice in my head that says, “This would be a good spot to turn back.” and today was one of those times. I got a marginally later start than I had planned for. That’s what happens when you have…

Pretty average ride home tonight. Felt relatively good, but had trouble really getting comfortable in the saddle. Not sure if it’s a fit issue or a bib issue. Not sure if I’ll be riding in tomorrow or not. What’s that yous say? “But Elvis you don’t ride on Fridays.” True…
Another crazy fast ride into the office today. Proof that tailwinds are as effective as radioactive slime at making you a superhero. I mean really 1122 max watts, on a commute? Crazy time. Feeling awesome though and loving every minute. Clear sky, 72°F, Feels like 63°F, Humidity 24%, Wind 9mph…
Hard to believe this was the first commute home since 5/3. Felt really good along the way but was definitely feeling the wind. Felt stiffer than 9 MPH that’s for sure. Also got a flat at the best place possible, just a few hundred feet from the house! Rode the…
Well that was ridiculously fun and fast, new fastest time, thanks to the crew over at Swanny’s Cycles. Got a call from Joseph that my Domane was ready for pickup with a new right shifter courtesy of Shimano’s warranty services. Zabi did a great job getting the shifter swapped out…
With the Domane in the shop with a busted right shifter it’s back to the old mountain bike for commuting. The difference between the two bikes is really staggering. Nearly double the weight and the completely different posture makes for an interesting ride. Add to that some headwind and the…
Had a great ride until my rear shifter/derailleur quit working leaving me stuck in my smallest two gears on the rear. Oh and of course it had to happen before the climbs around Lake Las Vegas. By some miracle was able to make it back to Lifetime, but wow was…
