I think I left my legs and heart in California. Was feeling decent this morning, but this afternoon I was definitely tired. I had trouble keeping my heart rate in Z2 and just felt sluggish, especially in the afternoon. Other than that don’t have much to report. Ride went well…

Sadly not much to report on this one. Left the house earlier than usual for a Friday to tack on some extra Wandrer miles before breakfast. No Wandrer miles along the way home since we’re heading to California tonight. Finally nice to have a ride with little to no wind!…
Unfortunately nothing really to report from today’s commuting rides. Decided to take my chances and ride Tropicana from Nellis west to campus in the morning and in reverse this afternoon. Wasn’t too terrible. Of course it was busy, but nothing I haven’t experienced before. Thankfully it isn’t something that I…
Big baller bringing home the BIG money today. Had a good time on the way in. Was flying down Pecos again with a nice tail wind pushing me along. Even nabbed me a KOM for my troubles. It only took a tail wind and a pull from a Ford Focus,…
A group ride AND a commute both in one day? Don’t threaten me with a good time! Around mid-week this ride got posted and I arranged to meet someone over at Mountains Edge Park around 5:30. That would give us an hour to get to Pebble Marketplace for the start.…

Pop quiz. What do you do when your road bike is in the shop and you have an itch for commuting that desperately needs scratched? If you said bust out the old MTB turned commuter good on ya! Shadow is at Swanny’s getting a much needed tune up done before…
Great ride, great visit, and just overall great day. Started the morning with my typical Friday ride down to Scrambled. Invited the legend Joe Ruggles to join me. I rolled up to find that he’d decided to ride over and was already enjoying a seat on the patio. With this…
I joked with a buddy yesterday. “Pop quick MF. You go into your favorite bike shop for ONE tire. The tire you have is gum wall, but they only have black in stock…what do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO!?!” To which they replied, “Buy 2”. “You’re GD right you…
Well that sucked. Was feeling good after coming up soccer hill and crossing Anthem Hills Park before hitting Reunion. Just rolling through catching my breath and *POP* and rear tire goes completely flat. Give it a spin and find a nice inch long tear right along the edge of the…
