Another commute in the books. Only one commute this week with the anticipated high winds coming later in the week. Had a couple sketchy moments on the ride home along Flamingo. I had a couple impatient drivers nearly come into me while I was in the bike lane. Thankfully I’m…

Great little ride to work and back today. I decided to use the regular “Road” profile on the Garmin versus the “Commute” profile. Pretty much allowed me to ride as hard or as soft as I wanted. Kinda important for the ride home in order to get there early enough…
With the threat of rain the fenders went on before leaving the house this morning. Thankfully it held off and I made it to work without issue. Absolutely love the wet weather. This morning it felt like NorCal with the high humidity and low clouds. Had a great ride in.…
Unfortunately, another ride that I’m too far removed from to write anything meaningful about.

It’s been a hot minute since I did this commute and I can’t, for the life of me, remember anything about it.

Today started off great. I rode down to Scrambled like usual and was pleasantly surprised to find Kant sitting there waiting for me. Sure I’d invited him to breakfast so him being there wasn’t that surprising. However, seeing him all kitted up from having ridden over from his place in…
I was disappointed to not be able to ride on Monday despite the rain. Goes with the supervision of student employees. Trying something different on my commutes now. I’ve reset my power zones and updated my Garmin to alert on Zone 2 power versus heart rate. I have to say…
I have to say I’m pretty happy to have only run into very light sprinkles on the way into work this morning. Thankfully I’d put on the fenders to be on the safe side and I don’t regret it. Overall a great day and really a solid ride. I’m not…
I firmly believe in the idea that most automobile accidents happen close to home. Some of my closest calls with cars have happened within a few miles of the house, and today was another example. I was riding along Via Contessa just west of Via Firenze when I spotted a…
On Sunday morning the kiddo sent me a text that one of her tires was low. I told her to stay home and that I would take a look once I got home. Well she decided to go take a look herself and found a nice nail right in the…
