Ride home was pretty nice tonight. No real wind to speak of and the rain decided to hold off. The humidity was definitely higher and at every stop sweat would just start pouring off me. Starting out I was definitely feeling fatigued and the legs were complaining about working. Can’t…

Absolutely gorgeous morning, but holy humidity batman! I felt the humidity the minute I opened the garage door. Ride in was really nice and had some decent interactions a couple drivers. The construction of a new pedestrian bridge is still ongoing at St Rose and the 215. As part of…
Phew that was a tough one. Head wind the entire way home. On top of already tired legs makes for a icky ride home. Funny thing is I still found something to be excited about. The gate at the east end of Maule Ave, at the Tomiyasu intersection, was wide…
Beautiful morning for a ride. Was having a nice rip along Pecos when I spotted a pair of buses heading my way. Pushed hard to get a draft and felt kinda successful just before Wigwam. Rolling up to the light at Wigwam I felt like Jean-Claude Van Damme in the…
Quick ride over to Subaru to pick up my car from the shop for regularly scheduled maintenance. Threw the bike in the back and drove home. Feel kinda dirty ‘only’ doing 8 some miles for an evening commute. The majority of the roads I was on were just garbage. Lucky…
Nice chill ride in to start the day. Legs feeling a little squishy from yesterday’s ride. Other than the soreness, didn’t feel too terrible. Was happy to hit several lights along Pecos green, which was a change. If my car is done this afternoon I’ll have an abbreviated commute over…
Not a bad way to end the week. Looking forward to my three day weekend. Was hanging out in the office around 1 and heard the oddest noise and knew it had to be rain. Headed outside and it was just pouring down. Kinda got me excited that I might…
Legs were telling me it’s Thursday that’s for certain. Quads are a little achy, but the hips are more sore than usual. Think the combination of high winds in addition to the elevation on the way home have caught up with me. Looking forward to a little break before picking…
That was quite a pleasant ride with the cooler temperature. Much more enjoyable than the 100+ days we’ve been experiencing lately. Winds were also much more manageable as well. Wasn’t constantly worrying about getting blown into traffic. Speaking of traffic almost won the lottery tonight. Was riding down Harmon before…
That was a fun fast one. Wasn’t my fastest ever, but was still up there. Had the luxury of several green lights along Pecos after the 215 which was a nice change. Hit very light sprinkles from Pebble until Warm Springs. Was kinda hoping to get dumped on. The clouds…
