Another absolutely gorgeous day for a ride. Had a great time albeit nearly spoiled in the last mile. Adobo Velo birthday ride starting from Pedal & Pour and this was the first Adobo Velo ride I’ve felt like riding over to the start. Only took a few weeks of commuting…

Group rides with Adobo Velo
What a day, what a day, what a day. Earlier this week Caleb spilled the beans that Robert would be out of town and was going to ask me to host the weekend ride. Of course I don’t mind, but I always have difficulty picking a route. It’s one thing…
Another weird one for me this weekend, I didn’t ride over to the start of the group ride. I’m still lacking the confidence to do an extended ride fearing I’ll fall apart at the end. Going to have to pull off the band aid sometime. Had a nice drive over…
You all can thank me for the rain this afternoon. I didn’t mount the fenders before leaving this morning because I didn’t want to be looking like a commute dork on the unofficial Lifetime Friday ride. Instead I just looked like a normal tail end of the group dork. I’d…
I surprised a bunch of people today by NOT riding to the start of the group ride. I would be lying if I said it never crossed my mind. The ride over and back would have added 40 miles or so to this ride which, coupled with the Red Rock…
I really need to get back into the swing of writing the reports immediately after my rides. Delaying it out a couple days makes everything foggy and hard to put down. The morning started out easy enough. After my typical pre-ride breakfast I left a little earlier than I needed…
Oof today was a toughie and another fine example of biting off more than I can chew. Earlier this week when I saw Robert post this ride my brain went straight to the idea of adding some extra credit. Sure riding from home easily adds 30 miles to any ride…
Well that was certainly a tough one. I love it when Adobo Velo rides start nearer to the house. I’m allowed to sleep in a little bit and ride to the start. Staying up late the night before kinda negates the sleeping in part though. That’s what happens when I…
Finally, finally, finally back on the bike after the big tour. Honestly, I have no one to blame but myself. There have been a few group rides this week I could have done. Shadow had a spa day on Monday and has been ready to rock since then, but I…
Certainly wasn’t feeling it today. Legs are still pretty tired from Saturday. Each time I’d try to put down some power, I’d get two maybe three strokes and my quads would feel exhausted and burning. Like they were full of lactate near instantly. This was pretty much the norm for…
