Was a little cooler this morning than yesterday so I cracked out the leg warmers again just to be safe and it was the right call. Felt awesome this morning. Not sure where all the speed came from, but was just flying! Had almost a 23 MPH average when I…

Beautiful day for a ride. This morning was a little chilly, but nice enough for shorts and arm warmers. With the time change got to enjoy the sun rising and lighting up the Spring Mountains. Love the view I get of the west side while rolling down Hampton. Just gorgeous.…
Can’t believe it’s already Friday again. The weeks are going by in a blur lately. Was surprised at noon on Monday with a reminder that UNLV’s Spring Break starts Monday. Going to miss mornings like today’s. I left with temps below 40 and dressed like I normally would have. I…
Few days off the bike to take care of family stuff. Medical appointment for the kiddo on Monday and Neil deGrasse Tyson last night made today the first day to ride in. Nothing to crazy to report. Ride home was a little tougher than usual with a slight head/cross wind.…
Ride home aborted due to “Wind Speed SSW 21 MPH” at Henderson Executive Airport as of 4:45 p.m. The morning ride was dicey in spots with the gusts and was being reported at half the speed it is now. So yeah, big nope from this guy. Thankfully the wife can…
Kiddo had an orthodontist appointment at 3:30 and wanted me to go with her. That means only a half day at the office. Got lucky on the trophy segment this morning with a nice tow from a van pulling a trailer loaded with kayaks. Just latched onto his rear bumper…
Senior night at the Thomas & Mack means the last regular season basketball home game. Already have game day clothes stashed in the back of the kiddo’s car for when she gets here after school. Ride in was nice. One advantage of always riding the same route is learning the…
Loving these warm afternoons, they certainly make the ride home much more enjoyable. Overall both rides were good, nothing crazy to report. Have this odd ticking that randomly starts and stops coming from the bike. Sounds like it’s coming from the rear wheel somewhere, but when I stop to investigate…
Days like today leave me yearning for spring. Frustrating to get all dressed up for a cold ride and then strip it all off to ride home, but still have to lug it around. Overall, ride was good. Once I got down to Volunteer I started to warm up nicely.…
Today was the first time I wasn’t the only cyclist at Scrambled enjoying breakfast. I rolled up shortly after they opened and looked across and spotted an older gentlemen locking up his flat bar bike to the bike rack. Was given the impression they were a casual rider, but still…
