Not entirely sure what I could say about The Road that hasn’t already been said by many others. It’s dark. It’s depressing. At times repetitive. Being a father, the ending nearly brought me to tears. I think post-apocalyptic fiction is widely enjoyed because readers fantasize about living on after the…

Beautiful day for a ride. Can’t believe how nice it was. I know I shouldn’t say it, but I’m wondering if we’re going to have a winter at all this year. Felt really strong today considering how hard it was to get out the door. I just kept coming up…

After yesterday’s lengthy ride, I wanted to have a nice cruise this afternoon to serve as a recovery effort. I also needed to get out to complete the ‘Move Past 2020 Challenge’. I had just got up to begin getting ready when the kiddo comes downstairs asking if I’d take…
Kept coming up with excuses not to hit the road today. Biggest one was the left knee flaring up. Walking around if I over extend it I get a sharp pain. Nothing new really, but makes for a great excuse to not ride. Went out anyway and found that the…
Got lucky and started after much of the rain had already passed through the valley. Did go prepared with a nice water resistant shell just in case. Riding gear worked out perfectly and was nice warm. Went out intending this to be a recovery ride so took it easy trying…
Happy to be back on the bike this weekend. The kiddo didn’t have a riding lesson today which freed up a significant amount of my morning so I had to take advantage. This was also my first opportunity to try out the new winter base layer and jersey and they…
