Finally back on the bike after taking much of the week off. This past week was finals week at being in and employed by school makes for double the amount of work as usual. I had both final exams and student employee reviews to tackle. Honestly, it was probably for…

Group rides with Adobo Velo
What a day and what a ride, let’s dive right into it. I’d checked the weather a few days before and it appeared the temperature wouldn’t get into the 70s. Talking with Dave and Joy the night before it was forecast to get much warmer up near Ojai. Checking the…
120 planned but cut short due to a sick employee. Off to work I go! A great little Adobo Velo monthly birthday spin from PTs at Green Valley Pkwy and Horizon Ridge out to Lake Las Vegas and back. I was feeling pretty good for the entire ride which was…
Alternative title, “Shoulda made it a double.” I kinda have a love-hate relationship with the ride to Overton. I love that it’s long and overall uninterrupted; however, I’m convinced it’s cursed, for me at least. The day started with the typical trip down to Inspirada to meet up with Joy…
I have been looking forward to this ride since Roehl told us he was coming to town and wanted to ride. The anticipation continued to build as Kant and I went back and forth refining the ride adding some of our favorite segments. I’m pretty happy with the results despite…
An absolute banger of a day to ride. The day started early with cool temperatures and the long sleeve summer jersey and wool baselayer were perfect for the conditions. Thankfully, the entire day remained cool or the wool baselayer may have ended up being a little too much. Overall, happy…
What an absolute banger of a double century! By far the most fun I’ve had on a DC to date. A different start to this weekend’s events. At work I’m enrolled in a “Management Training Academy”. It is “a foundational training series designed to provide clear, standardized expectations and development…
Oof that was tough and I nearly called it quits. Thankfully the ride was saved and I was able to finish it. After my tour last year, I said 2024 would be “The Year of the Double” and I’m happy to say I’ve accomplished everything I set out to do…
Oof that was a scorcher. The heat certainly came on strong in the afternoon and started taking its toll, but we’ll get to that. The day started with a nice chill ride over to Pedal & Pour. I rendezvoused with Joy at Via Firenze and Democracy after she’d done a…
What an absolutely gorgeous day for a ride. The weather was amazing with perfect temperatures and clear skies. The day started with a chill pre-ride with Joy. I picked her up at Via Firenze and Democracy and I figured we’d do the same route we usually do for anything starting…
