Not much to report on today, just a bone standard commute loop. I decided last night to forgo the extra miles and “sleep in” some instead. The extra hours of sleep certainly made a difference and I was feeling much better throughout the day. I’m also enjoying the new asphalt…
Not much to say really other than I really need to quit burning this candle at both ends. It certainly feels like I’m lugging around a ton of fatigue. Poor sleep combined with early rises is starting to add up. Felt absolutely wiped on the ride home. New bike fund:…
When a friend is tantalizingly close to accomplishing a major goal for the year, you do your best to support them, and when they don’t like riding alone, you ride with them. That’s how I found myself getting up before 4:00 a.m. to ride out with them at 5:00 a.m.…
Back on the Wandrer train and adding more miles to my commutes. I was pleasantly surprised with the stretch of Patrick between the Beltway and Decatur. It was a fun section to fly down with it having a slight downhill and smooth asphalt. Sure there were a couple rough sections…

It’s been so long since I’ve split my commute into two separate rides. Sitting down trying to write this out I totally remember why I started combining them into one post. Not enough to really write about when they are separated. I kinda feel like I bit off a little…
Perfect example of why you don’t adjust the settings on your ride computer in the middle of a ride. Stupid me hit the “Save” button and here you are! Another example of, “Don’t touch it you’ll break it.” Anyway, went east this morning to avoid the debacle around the track…
So THAT’s what Di2 is all about! Shifting is going to take some getting used to. I’m too accustomed to swinging the entire lever for down shifts and quick finger flicks for up shifts. Kept either missing or mixing them up. I’ll also need to get acclimated to the new…
Today was just not the best for commuting. It certainly could have been better; however, it most certainly could have been worse. One thing I hate about taking time off from my morning commute is that once it’s time to get back at it it’s a struggle. This morning was…
