Unfortunately nothing much to write about this now nearly three week old ride. Looking at the weather data it was certainly cooler than I would have liked. I vaguely remember feeling quite cool about halfway through the ride as we regrouped a few times. Outside that it’s all a blur.…

Last ride before Planet Ultra’s Solvang Double Century this weekend. I seriously considered commuting on Thursday; however, winds are forecast to be gusting nearly 40 MPH when I would be riding home and that’s no bueno. I’ll take the opportunity to have an extra rest day to prepare for Saturday.…
I really should rename this ride to “Hey, why is the distance on my Garmin stuck at 33 miles? Everyone loves a good trilogy.” With Robert going out of town for his daughter’s baby shower, on Tuesday night he asked me to host the weekend’s ride. After some brief conversation…
Finally a Saturday ride without having to lug Boots around! With today’s ride scheduled to start from the PTs near the intersection of Green Valley Pkwy and Horizon Ridge, I decided to ride the extra loop that Boots and I usually do. I’d heard from Dave and Kant earlier that…
Another commute followed by a spicy Tuesday night Adobo ride. For the commute portion of today’s ride I decided to start adding in some Wandrer miles like I used to do in the past. It’s funny that when I do this I find all sorts of interesting ways to get…

I’ve been wanting to ride over to Sandy Valley for quite some time. Mostly in order to log some extra Wandrer miles and I was thrilled when Robert threw the idea out there. I have to be honest it’s been nearly three weeks since this ride and the details are…
First day I was able to both start and end the ride in shorts! I still had to don arm warmers for the ride to work however. Today was the second Tuesday using the slightly modified route to and from work and it is working well. The only portion I’m…
Ahh another Tuesday, another commute, another LVAV Tuesday night pain fest. I don’t know what I was thinking commuting and doing the Tuesday night ride after yesterday’s century ride. The legs were feeling relatively garbage for the ride to work in the morning, but felt better at the end of…
The original plan for today was to ride out, do the loop, and then on the way back to Pedal & Pour snap a picture at the Adopt-A-Highway sign with the new Adobo Velo sign attached. Unfortunately with all the rain over the past few days there were sections of…
