Another beautiful day another nice commute. I was a little nervous leaving the house this morning after watching the weather forecast. The morning news was talking about 20+ MPH winds all day and looking out my back window all the trees were dancing. Thankfully I avoided the worst of the…

Cycling commutes
You commute on carbon wheels? Yeah I do and I’d daily an exotic too. First flight on my new set of Bontrager Aeolus Pro 51s. Very impressed with the increased handling and stability versus the Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25s they replaced. But can you really directly compare the two? Having…
Oof almost chilly start this morning. Garmin is reporting a low down near 57°F which is probably just about right. Definitely feeling the bite of fall and, from the sounds of it, it’s only going to get worse. Not really ready to be riding in the cold again. Then again…
Mornings are starting to get chilly. Haven’t had to resort to the thermal arm warmers yet, but I have been wearing my sun sleeves before sunrise! Only a matter of time before the arm warmers are coming out and wool base layers. Ugh, not looking forward to the cold commutes…
Don’t have too much time to write. Have to jump into the shower for a hot date with the wife and kiddo. Can’t believe she’s 18 tomorrow. Spotted a couple riders this morning which was a pleasant surprise. Looking forward to a great dinner tonight, a couple rides this weekend,…

A later than usual start to the commute today. The kiddo and I got an early start with some breakfast at Black Bean Diner. We followed that up with a medical appointment. The original plan was to take her and then have her drop me off at work. Then the…

When you ride you have to make sure to take some time to look around and admire the scenery. Really loving the Halloween decorations I spotted along the ride today. Had to double back to snap some pics. Always love seeing something original. 7.80 new miles — From Wandrer.earth Mostly…
Starting to think I may need to find a new route into the office, at least temporarily. Las Vegas Blvd is under construction north of Sunset and it’s closed down to one lane until near Russell. The past couple times I’ve passed through there I drop the hammer and put…
