Suffered a massive critical failure, power meter battery gave out around the halfway mark. Ridiculously fast ride in today. Klimat showing 10-15 MPH winds while Garmin saying 25 MPH, but all in agreement that they were mostly out of the south. PRs and stupid high overall rankings on many of…

I have to say the ride home wasn’t as bad as I’d thought it was going to be. Felt really good and tried to embrace the head wind as much as possible. Kept a nice strong pace without over exerting myself. Unfortunately going to pass on the commute tomorrow because…
Finally a commute. Have really been missing these rides and was bummed about yesterday’s wind forecast. While today is forecast to be only marginally better, I forced myself to ride in anyway. Sure I may regret it on the way home, but for now I’m elated and as they say…
Pretty average ride home tonight. Felt relatively good, but had trouble really getting comfortable in the saddle. Not sure if it’s a fit issue or a bib issue. Not sure if I’ll be riding in tomorrow or not. What’s that yous say? “But Elvis you don’t ride on Fridays.” True…
Another crazy fast ride into the office today. Proof that tailwinds are as effective as radioactive slime at making you a superhero. I mean really 1122 max watts, on a commute? Crazy time. Feeling awesome though and loving every minute. Clear sky, 72°F, Feels like 63°F, Humidity 24%, Wind 9mph…
Hard to believe this was the first commute home since 5/3. Felt really good along the way but was definitely feeling the wind. Felt stiffer than 9 MPH that’s for sure. Also got a flat at the best place possible, just a few hundred feet from the house! Rode the…
Well that was ridiculously fun and fast, new fastest time, thanks to the crew over at Swanny’s Cycles. Got a call from Joseph that my Domane was ready for pickup with a new right shifter courtesy of Shimano’s warranty services. Zabi did a great job getting the shifter swapped out…
With the Domane in the shop with a busted right shifter it’s back to the old mountain bike for commuting. The difference between the two bikes is really staggering. Nearly double the weight and the completely different posture makes for an interesting ride. Add to that some headwind and the…
Anyone have any rides planned next week? I have the week off and would love to get rides in on Tuesday and Thursday if anyone is interested in having a tag-a-long. Would love something 40+ miles. Definitely a warm one this afternoon. Had to go to a dental appointment before…
Beautiful ride in this morning. Had a nice chill ride keeping it mellow and smooth. Wish every morning in was like today. Clear sky, 70°F, Feels like 63°F, Humidity 18%, Wind 5mph from S – by Klimat.app
