Pretty bone standard commute to work and home today. I bit the bullet and added leg warmers for the ride in. They went into the backpack for the ride home. Yeah, unfortunately a pretty uneventful ride, but glad that I went out. New bike fund: $120.96 (+$0.16), €1.52, ₱10.00, ֏10.00,…

Not too much to say about today’s commute. The only real stand out item would be that I started AND ended the day in shorts. Kinda crazy considering it’s only the second week of January, but I’m certainly not complaining. Looking forward to hitting the sack early tonight. New bike…
It’s one thing to battle one’s own demons to get out and ride to work with the colder temperatures, it’s another to have to fight your bike’s as well. While loading this morning’s water bottles I gave Shadow’s tires a squeeze and found the rear completely flat. I could have…
Father Winter has finally entered the chat, at least for the next couple days according to the weatherman. Compared to a week ago it was brutally cold this morning, and cold like this makes it hard to get out and ride. While I was outside getting ready I decided to…
It certainly felt a little cooler leaving the house this morning, and watching this morning’s weather forecast I’m not looking forward to this weekend. I guess I shouldn’t complain considering the run of great weather we’ve had over the past two months. Besides from the look of the forecast we…
Remember kids if you get a flat during a ride patch or replace your spare tube before going out on your next ride. It’s probably for the best if you do that replacement the moment you get home. I’ve been experiencing a rash of flats since Tuesday’s night ride. Always…
Dave was certainly on a mission tonight. I held back at first to ride with Artur only for him to tell me he knew the route and for me to go on. The closest I got to Dave after that was watching him ride away westbound on Tropicana as I…
Got fenders, will travel. Got lucky and only had decent rain along LVB between Volunteer and Cactus. Outside of that the morning wasn’t all that wet, and the ride home was just wet roads with some standing water here and there. Perfect excuse to forgo Flamingo and Pecos for a…
I’m thrilled to be back on the bike for the first time since Tuesday evening. I took a trip to SoCal this past weekend and, because I had previous family plans, a ride to the beach wasn’t in the cards this trip. The legs are feeling fantastic after the minor…
An interesting change of route for today’s rides. As I mentioned in a previous post, during Friday’s Scrambled breakfast I ended up working a filling loose in one of my teeth. Today was the earliest they could work me in. I decided last night I’d try to stick with my…
