Finally back to commuting to work. I have no problem riding in the rain. I have fenders and a rain jacket to handle the wet. Wind, on the other hand, is something I just don’t do. The past two weeks have seen winds constantly 15+ MPH and gusts well north…

Great ride in today. Was pleasantly surprised when I first turned on the TV to see the new reporting the temperatures were in the low 50s. The mercury did dip into the 40s by the time I left the house, but a nice long sleeve thermal jersey, vest, and leg…
Day started out with an amazing breakfast down at Scrambled. Invited one of the boys, Joe Ruggles, out to join me. Had a great time visiting with him for an hour or so off the bike. Looking forward to hanging out with him again. I plan on inviting a few…
Two evenings in a row riding home without leg warmers? Loving it! Ride in was pretty chill which was nice, and he ride home was for the most part. Had someone pull out in front of me along Anthem Village Dr as they were leaving Von’s. They rolled up and…

Today started off great with another amazing sunrise. I was very tempted to stop along Solera Sky and snap a couple pictures, but I was worried I’d be late to breakfast so I didn’t. It was another one of those where the clouds catch the sunlight just right and they…
Late yesterday afternoon I was looking at my schedule for the remainder of the week and my commuting opportunities were looking slim. I was really hurting for some mileage after having to skip Monday, had to take dog to the vet, and Tuesday, due to weather. I seriously considered skipping…
