Another beautiful morning for a ride in to work. Really tried to take it nice and easy because I want some legs left over for the ride home tonight and a big ride tomorrow. Looking at the numbers I was pretty fast, but didn’t use much power to do it…

Well this was a toughy. Not sure if it’s because today was the first back-to-back commute days or the winds, but tonight’s trip home felt super slow and tough. With forecast winds out of the WSW at around 15mph around the time I’d be heading home and feeling trashed tonight,…
Awesome ride in this morning. Was just warm enough to ride in without arm warmers. Felt so nice to ride with nothing but summer gear. Kept a nice steady pace, not killing myself but not slouching either. Hoping the winds aren’t too terrible this afternoon for the ride home. Clear…
Beautiful ride home tonight. Weather was nice and the back of my calves feel like they have a minor sunburn. Guess I need to start using sunscreen again before I leave the office. Felt really strong on the entire ride. Had a healthy dose of challenging drivers tonight. By the…
Beautiful morning, albeit a little chilly to start. Once I got the downhill section done and hit St. Rose Pkwy it was plenty warm enough with my arm warmers. Bike and legs felt amazing. Awesome way to start the day and week. Clear sky, 57°F, Feels like 44°F, Humidity 12%,…
Nice way to end the week. Ride home was great. Near perfect weather. What more could a cyclist ask for? I do have a minor conundrum and could use some feedback from anyone who has read this far. I have a 4-day weekend scheduled to start 4/23. This was supposed…
Happy that the southerly winds have died down enough to allow a ride into work. I commute for fun, not because I have to. When the weather report says winds out of the south at 15+ MPH, I’m staying home that day. 1,200 ft of elevation gain into a headwind…
Riding without pain makes such a difference. Happy to report that the ride home was pain free which is a huge change from last Wednesday. Bummed I won’t be riding tomorrow, but family responsibilities take priority. Probably for the best that I don’t jump right back in to daily commutes…
Had to take a break from riding after Wednesday’s ride home. Right knee was a wreck and there was no way I was riding anywhere. Thankfully it feels much improved this morning, but the real test will be the ride home tonight. Getting old sucks. Ride in felt really good…
Ride home started out pleasant enough, but it didn’t take long for things to start to sour. Started having pain in the right knee when I tried to put some power down. At one point I thought I wasn’t going to make it home. Thankfully I did and after dinner…
