Another beautiful day for a commute! The day started off great. Had an awesome breakfast date with the kiddo. I’d been looking forward to it since last week when I realized that today was a staff development and senior project presentation day. I’d asked her if she wanted to join…

Cycling commutes
Finally back on the bike and riding to work. The winds over the past two days made it impossible to ride. Thankfully mother nature relented today and delivered beautiful temperatures and little wind. The rides today were great. I can really tell the difference in my attitude when I go…
Took a risk and left the house with no cool weather gear on. I was regretting it for the first five minutes of the ride in, but after that I started feeling much better. That’s one of the difficulties of my morning commute being nearly downhill all the way to…
Quick and easy breakfast commute today. I had a meeting scheduled at 8:30 so no Wandrering on the way in. The family and I were driving to California after work so no Wandrering on the way home either. I will say that I got to enjoy the new asphalt on…
First commute of the week due to more winds on Monday and Tuesday. I’d hoped to get out on either day but mother nature had other plans. Both rides were pretty good. In particular I enjoyed the occasional tailwind on the way home. It was really nice along Bermuda and…
Sadly no much to report for this commute. Things went pretty smoothly all things considered. Missed a couple small roads that I wanted for Wandrer. That just means I’ll need to pick them up some other time. Got lucky that I missed the rain on the way home. Say plenty…
Another chilly morning start to the commute. I’m glad I made the last minute decision to wear both shoe covers and a full jacket. I think if I’d gone with the vest only I would have been on the cold side. Ride in went well, but I need to moderate…
I started the week expecting a three commute week but mother nature changed those plans. Because of forecast winds I skipped Wednesday and rode today instead. Will skip Friday because I’m no longer particularly fond of back-to-back commuting days. Today’s ride was the first with the new Varia. Pulled the…
Happy to be home and back riding to work. Riding in my legs were certainly feeling fresh and the heart was just raring to go. Had difficulty keeping my heart rate in zone 2. Not sure if it’s because I’m so rested, was loaded on caffeine, or something else. Other…
Great way to wrap up the week. The ride in was a little chilly and required warm gloves and arm and leg warmers. Really digging riding along Arroyo Grande. Any road with new pavement AND a dedicated bike lane is awesome in my book. For the ride home I decided…
