Cycling commutes
Not sure why but the legs were just not there this morning. Just past Alcobaca St I called down to the legs, “Hey boys I need x watts.” The legs replied, “Yeah know we don’t think that’s going to happen, best we can do is y.” “No boys you don’t…
A fairly bone standard day of commuting with a loop out to the dentist for good measure. I do have to hand it to my dentist and their office staff though. I’ve rode into their office on a few occasions and never once have they given me grief about bringing…
The mornings aren’t even really cold and I’m already finding myself struggling to get dressed to ride into the office. It feels pathetic if I’m being honest. Once I get out the door I’m cold for maybe all of three miles. Then I’m down on the flats south of Inspirada…
It’s mornings like today’s that help undo the BS I had to deal with on Monday. The sunrise was gorgeous. I didn’t get any brilliant red, but the yellows and oranges were good enough for me. Another solid day of riding. Coming home was a challenge due to a stiff…
Ahh the joys of commuting in Las Vegas, you really can’t beat it. From breathing in the dust of an imploded hotel in the morning to being told to “get off the street”, having a 30ft box truck nearly running a stop sign to broadside you, to having someone in…
I’m still lugging around some fatigue from the weekend’s double century. With the implosion of the Tropicana earlier in the morning and my tired legs, I opted for the most direct route to and from work. I find it funny that after becoming accustomed to taking the long way along…
A pair of nice chill rides to wrap up the commuting week. No ride on Friday since I’ll be heading to northern California and the bay area for the Best of the Bay Double Century. I’ve been looking at the course and the climb up Mt. Diablo is going to…
Not all commutes are rainbows, unicorns, and glitter. At least it waited until I got to Anthem Hills Park to get unbearably soft. First noticed it at the intersection of St. Rose and Coronado Center. I will say that there isn’t quite anything better than a freshly cleaned bike with…
Sad that today’s the final Lifetime Friyay of the year. I thoroughly enjoy the additional pre-breakfast miles that it affords me. Sure I’m up especially early to make the start, but in the long run, fitness wise, I feel it was worth it. I must admit that I’m looking forward…
