Nice chill ride down to Scrambled this morning for breakfast. I was enjoying the time when I looked up and spotted Jennifer Smith walk in. She didn’t notice me, but it was clear she came in looking for someone. I knew I wanted to go over and mess with her…
Definitely another cool ride today. I scaled back a little on the gear attempting to strike a better balance between being too warm and cold. I feel that I was just about on the edge of being cold with my clothing choice today, especially on the way home. The ride…
Had a great visit over breakfast with Josh Westerman this morning. I love when someone takes me up on a breakfast invite. The only bummer is having to leave to continue on to work. Would prefer to hang out and chit chat over coffee for the entire day. Something to…

Another wonderful commute and final commute of the year. Once again nothing much to report on. I was feeling particularly strong today and my heart was much more responsive than on Tuesday. One advantage of riding a regular commuting loop with a target heart rate is that I can easily…
Unfortunately not much to report with today’s commute. It was certainly a little chillier than last week. It was the first time this year I got out the wool jersey and AmFIB Shell. I have to admit the shell was a little much and I probably could have gone with…
