What an absolutely amazing day. Earlier this week knowing I was traveling to Southern California, I planned on reaching out to Joey Ducut about getting together for a weekend ride. At around the same time he posted an Adobo Velo KOM Challenge training ride which would ride up into the…

A spur of the moment ride concocted late Saturday afternoon over coffee after having ridden 100 miles. Joy and I both certainly wanted to ride on Monday, but we weren’t certain of a route. I threw out that we hadn’t been to the dam in a while and the idea…
An absolutely gorgeous day for a ride. When Mother Nature gives you days like today it’s hard to not stay out on the bike all day. The ride over to Pedal and Pour started with shorts, a vest, and long sleeve jersey with arm warmers underneath. The clothing choice was…
Another Tuesday, another tough one, but a good time had by all. Dave, Stuart, and I all left together at 6:15 to chase down the rest of the crew. Things started quick right off the bat. All three of us pushed the pace, caught a few key lights green, and…
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…
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…
Dave was certainly on a mission tonight. I held back at first to ride with Artur only for him to tell me he knew the route and for me to go on. The closest I got to Dave after that was watching him ride away westbound on Tropicana as I…
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…
It started three years ago with a simple premise: ride 100 or more miles on the 100th day of the year. It’s funny how much has changed since then. At that time riding a century for me was a big deal and didn’t happen very often. Now I’m cranking one…
The more appropriate title for this ride would be Ride to Remember, but I couldn’t resist this gem of a ride title brought to you by Boots herself. A solid day’s worth of riding. The winds were kinda tough coming out of the north for most of the day, but…
