Not sure if the Cycling Gods are happy or angry with me. I rode in without mounting my fenders in case of rain. It did rain all along my route, but before I left the office. Then the rain held off for my entire ride home. So that’s good? Then…

That was much more enjoyable than Wednesday. A couple twists on the rear derailleur’s barrel adjuster and I’m shifting like a champion. Soaked the heart rate sensor strap in water before leaving and it worked perfectly. Crazy what happens when you get on the Internet and search out stuff. Gotta…
Looks like it’s about time for a new heart rate monitor (HRM) and a tune on the rear derailleur. Both were really ticking me off. HRM took 10-15 minutes to finally connect to my computer and the rear derailleur was bouncing all over the place until I finally stopped cranked…
Feels like it’s been forever since I’ve ridden in to work, when in reality it’s only been a week and a day. Thankfully it was a really chill ride, nothing too crazy going on. At one point along Las Vegas Blvd I was thinking, “I must have done something right,…
Today was a ‘Test Your Patience’ day. First happened along Koval about half way between Tropicana and Harmon. Up to this point things had been going great. Out of no where some lady decided to turn left in front of me into the International Villas Apartments. Really loved how she…
Finally back in the saddle for a commute! Pattern seems to be I wake up not wanting to ride. To take the easy way and just carpool with the wife. Then once I roll up to the office I say, “Damn I’ve missed this.” T-Minus 18 days until PCBR. Sunny-Partly…
Beautiful morning for a ride. Did opt for arm warmers and they were just enough. Had a great tailwind on the way in and that’s where the #4 came from along St. Rose. That and I really needed to get out of everyone’s way. Absolutely HATE that section of St.…
Finally back riding to work. Stupid wind. Ride in was nice but chilly. Had to get out BOTH the arm AND leg warmers. Ride home was just about perfect. Now for some rest and relaxation before bed and doing it all again tomorrow. T-Minus 30 days until PCCT. Mostly sunny-Sunny,…
Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. After bonking HARD on Saturday the 2nd I needed some time off the bike. On top of that I turned over 10K miles on the Domane and I wanted to send it in to Swanny’s for a tune and once over. This…
Dang I’m tired. Went to bed super late for me and then my brain woke me up an hour earlier than usual. That means early to bed tonight to be out early for a LONG day in the saddle tomorrow. T-Minus 42 days until PCBR. Mostly sunny-Sunny, 61°F-81°F, Feels like…
