Back to my usual commute grind today after yesterday’s half break. Ride in was nice until nearly the end. Was east bound on Harmon before Paradise when someone nearly pulled out in front of me. They got their SUV about half way into the lane before stopping. Thankfully I had…

Cycling commutes
Only a half commute today, and I’m ok with that. There is a UNLV basketball game tonight, and normally that would mean no ride at all. Drive to work, pick up the kiddo from school, return to work, get dinner, go to the game, and drive home. However, since the…
Sadly no riding this weekend. Much of Saturday was spent hanging with the family. Started with breakfast and some errands before heading to the DMV for the kiddo’s driving test. She passed but not before thinking she’d failed during the review with the tester. That left little time for bike…
Crazy weather we’re having. Can’t believe how nice it was on the way home. Going to have to start packing a ride home kit if this keeps up. Nice was to wrap up a solid week of commuting. Looking forward to a chill weekend with some bike maintenance thrown in.…
With all the fun and excitement on the last two commutes I’m sure you’re all just chomping at the bit to know what happened today. Sorry to say, but nothing. Absolutely nothing. Today was just a regular ride in to the office without much to report. Tomorrow wraps up this…
Sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad. Morning ride in was great. I was dreading the torn up section of Harmon I wrote about yesterday. Imagine my surprise when I was greeted with some sweet sweet smooth as silk new asphalt. It was glorious! I was so excited…
Chilly one out there this morning, but nothing I couldn’t handle. Just had to bundle up with everything I’ve got. Worked great. Ride in was uneventful until the last mile. Really pushed to cross both Paradise and University Center on one light. I made it, but just east of University…
Day 2 of the new commute route and I’m still digging it. While riding along LVB near the Welcome to Las Vegas sign another reason for liking this route dawned on me, I feel like I’m riding through a big city, like Chicago or New York, once I hit the…
Finally back in the saddle for a commute after nearly a month off. I’ve been thinking of mixing things up some for the new year and came up with this new loop for my daily commutes. The ride home is mostly the same, but the ride to work is completely…
Another extended cycling break for Thanksgiving. Had a great time visiting family, but sorely missed riding. The end of the academic semester is my least favorite time of year. Have student evaluations to write and the Thanksgiving holiday really adds to the time crunch. Hopeful a ride into the office…
