Ugh, I hate that I never went back and wrote about this ride. Now that it’s two weeks old I can’t really remember much about it. I do know that I really made an effort on the Sunrise climb and felt really good at its finish. Beyond that it’s all…

Such an insanely amazing day for a ride. Only discouraging part is the nearly 25 degree swings between the start and finish. I had to start the ride with leg and arm warmers and a vest only to finish the ride with all three stashed in my back pocket. A…
While hanging out at Pedal & Pour after last weekend’s ride, Robert let me know that he was going to be out of town this weekend and asked that I host a ride. I lamented that I wasn’t sure what route we should use and I’ve been short on ideas…
This one was Jared’s fault. On Friday the 5th, Jared joined me for breakfast at Scrambled and during our great visit he asked if I had any plans for MLK Jr’s Birthday. Jared and I both work for different universities and he knew I’d have the day off when others…
After the week I’ve had I was seriously debating riding to the start. With about 170 miles logged for the week I don’t think anyone would fault me one bit. I’m a glutton for punishment so I sent a text message to Joy late Friday afternoon only containing “6:30?” To…

We certainly got lucky on this one. I don’t think we could have asked for better weather on the first of January for a century ride. It started cool, but ended near perfect. Great way to start the year. It was an unusual start to today’s ride because I chose…
Today was certainly a tough one, but that’s what happens when you have a dedicated and separate A Group, all the hammers come out and smash your head in. The day started easily enough with a nice cruise down the hill to Joy’s neighborhood. The two of us had a…
This weekend’s ride was a little different than previous weekends. When I posted the ride I deliberately posted two similar but different routes with different start times. The goal for today was to have two distinct pace groups finished at approximately the same time. While it wasn’t totally successful, I…
This ride was hatched after having a chat with Joy about hosting a final ride for Anna before she heads back to New York. After some back and forth I drew up a route and made the event on the Adobo Velo Facebook page. Decided on some Villa Ridge, mini-Villa…
