Anyone care to take a guess what’s different about this commute than my regular commute? Had a great ride down to breakfast at Scrambled. As I sat there on a bench waiting for them to open the manager peeks her head out and said, “Hey are you coming inside?” I…

Cycling commutes
A tough day at work book-ended with nice rides. Couldn’t really ask for anything better than that. I gave Flamingo to Mountain Vista a try for the ride home this afternoon, continuing the explore ideas for adding miles to my commutes. Hard to judge this one. Very stop and go…
Great day for a commute. The temperature riding in was awesome. The ride home was a little warm, but with the cloud cover I ditched the sun sleeves. A nice change from the usual. Along the ride in, near the Las Vegas Premium Outlets, I found a handful of nickels…
Another great commute logged. I had hesitations about riding in because my legs were feeling particularly sore, but I bit the bullet and did it anyway. I’m glad I did. The ride in was an absolute blast. I hit a ton of green lights along Las Vegas Blvd and caught…
I can’t believe I rode in to work today after the weekend I’ve had. It’s pretty rare for me to do two centuries in one weekend, but when they’re on a 2-for-1 Labor Day weekend special you take what you can get. On the ride in I was feeling pretty…
Unfortunately, I’m a little too far removed from this ride to be able to really add anything meaningful to describe it. It was just another commute loop. Head wind on the way home was pretty awful. New bike fund: $25.48 (+$0.00)366 vehicles @ 9.8 per mile, 2.7 per minute, Speeds:…
Another one of those rides that I definitely needed. I skipped this weekend’s group ride to go provide support for my friend Caleb who was racing in the Hoodoo 500. The Hoodoo 500 is a 500 mile bike race in southwestern Utah. It was absolutely insane. I watched the temperatures…
Unfortunately by the time I’m getting around to post this much of the ride has faded from memory except one stand out interaction. I pull up to the light at Harmon and Paradise. As I’m sitting there I look to my right and there is a guy sitting there in…
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…
Not all that glitters is gold, or in this case silver. An electrical box knock out looks a lot like a quarter at 25+ MPH. Oh well, maybe next time. Today was a mediocre day at best book-ended by two solid rides. Home extremely late after a long day at…
