That was a doozy of a ride home. For such a short ride I’m exhausted. While I’m on the subject, the ride home was tiresome to say the least. Lots and lots of wind out of the south. Was getting tossed around pretty good here and there. Almost went over…

Really not much to report from today’s rides. Legs are still a little sore from all the miles over the past week, but they’re improving. Looking forward to a half day at work tomorrow and the extra rest that will come along with it. 12.91 new miles — From Wandrer.earth…
As difficult as it is to get out early in the cold mornings, sometimes the sunrise really puts on a show like it did today. I was going through my morning bike prep work when I looked up and say the sky getting orange. I took a few minutes to…
Great ride in this morning despite the cold. All it takes is enough layers. Ride home went really well, but I did have a close call. I was riding south on Sandy Ridge stopped at the light at Sunridge Heights. The light turned green and the two cars to my…

I’d planned on doing some Wandrer miles on the way in but a later than expected start combined with a short stop to shed my jacket and change gloves meant I had less time to get to the office than usual. Once I hit LVB at Starr I just hung…
Would you like to know the sound of true love? If so, then read on. Late last week the family was hanging out chatting about our plans for this week. Included in this chat was which days I would be riding or car pooling. I started complaining that this week…
Kept it simple today. Straight to breakfast, straight to work, straight home. Had a pair of positive car interactions today. The first was on the ride in. Was riding through the construction along Pecos just to the right of the barrels. Thankfully there was enough room and the road wasn’t…
