Oof my left foot is absolutely killing me right now. Walking is an absolute nightmare, but, thankfully, riding is no big deal so I ride. The legs are certainly feeling a little sluggish after this weekend’s insanely quick double century down in Hemet. I’m sure a few more miles of…

A one off Wednesday commute this semester. I had a group study session for my database class on Tuesday night so riding and joining the gang for the post-ride meal wasn’t a part of yesterday’s agenda. Thankfully I was able to make up those miles with today’s commute before tomorrow’s…
Another bone standard commute loop. Thankfully Spring Break at UNLV coincides with CCSD’s Spring break making for lighter traffic for the remainder of the week, I hope. New bike fund: $93.83 (+$0.60), €1.52 (+€0.00), ₱10.00 (+₱0.00), ֏10.00 (+֏0.00)397 total shifts, 35 front, 362 rear. 75.1% of the ride in the…
Honestly another easy breakfast commute. No really important details to remember all these days later. New bike fund: $92.98 (+$0.31), €1.52 (+€0.00), ₱10.00 (+₱0.00), ֏10.00 (+֏0.00)363 total shifts, 48 front, 315 rear. 77.6% of the ride in the big ring, 22.4% in the small ring. Most time spent in 52×21,…
Unfortunately nothing much to write about this now nearly three week old ride. Looking at the weather data it was certainly cooler than I would have liked. I vaguely remember feeling quite cool about halfway through the ride as we regrouped a few times. Outside that it’s all a blur.…
Last ride before Planet Ultra’s Solvang Double Century this weekend. I seriously considered commuting on Thursday; however, winds are forecast to be gusting nearly 40 MPH when I would be riding home and that’s no bueno. I’ll take the opportunity to have an extra rest day to prepare for Saturday.…
Another bone standard commute loop in the books. Excited to be able to ride in summer kit and not have to tack on a bunch of layers only to lug them home in a backpack at the end of the day. Took the opportunity to tinker with my Garmin profiles,…
A solid breakfast commute without much to report. The day started cool and required both arm and leg warmers. The afternoon warmed up nicely and I was allowed to stow both in my backpack for the ride home. Had Moose join in on the breakfast festivities again. New bike fund:…
A rare Wednesday commute which can be attributed to Spring Break. With gnarly winds on Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday being the first nice day of the week, I figured I’d better quit making excuses not to ride and get out on the bike. I was pleasantly surprised to hook…
Today was certainly one of those days where I’m really glad I rode despite initial hesitation. I was a little slow getting out the door this morning because I couldn’t decide what to wear. I was seeing temperatures between high 30s near the house to mid 40s down near work.…
