Ugh stupid computer restarted randomly again. Thankfully I was still mid ride and after the restart all I had to to was hit start for it to pick up where it’d left off. Once I was home I connected it to my laptop and found that it was full. It…

Cycling commutes
Little wonkiness going on this morning as my computer restarted once I stopped at work. Had to use a couple websites to pull data from the LiveTrack. Thankfully I have at least that. Felt super good again on the bike. Ride was super fast with the tail wind helping me…
Well that was certainly an exercise in bike handling. Winds were all over the place keeping me on my toes. Thankfully kept it upright and made it home without any issues. Nice thing about the winds is it kept the air moving over me the entire ride helping make the…
Thursday’s commute home was a complete non-starter. Riding in that morning I was feeling fatigued and as the day wore on I couldn’t shake it. Overall, I just had this off feeling the entire day including a mild headache and bouts of dizziness, especially when standing up. I opted to…
Nothing like a little late night bike maintenance to convince you to ride the next morning. Patched and reinstalled the punctured tube from yesterday and moved the new unpatched tube back into my down tube. Also degreased and lubed the chain since it’s been getting noisier. Ride in went pretty…

Wow, just wow. I’m not sure what is more surprising, that I was able to complete this ride or how consistent I was compared to the last time I did this ride. Strava has me within a second and Garmin has moving time within 21 seconds. Seems crazy considering the…
Nice, steady, easy ride in this morning. Feeling super good and relaxed which was nice. Saw a couple regulars, and had a special interaction with a fellow cyclist. Was coming up on the Pecos Legacy Climb and spotted another cyclist grinding their way up. When I cam up along side…
Was asked to visit the School of Medicine today to help update one of their computer labs. Had to leave earlier than usual, but getting all these miles in today made it worth it. Commute to the SoM went really well. Always try to plan and expect for the worst,…
One of the best things about having student employees is asking them for favors. Messaged one of my students asking them to pick up a replacement power meter battery on their way to campus, and just like that we’re back to normal. Felt really good and strong on the way…
