Another day, another commute. I’m surprised how much fatigue I’m feeling in my legs today. Had a tough time keeping the power going during my segments, and they were achy for the entire day. I guess that’s what climbing Potosi will do to you. New bike fund: $59.46 (+$0.00)348 vehicles…

Absolutely gorgeous morning for a ride. On the way down to Lifetime I hit a rock on the trail after Anthem Hills Park causing the rear to go flat. I was able to fix it and still make it to the start on time albeit I rode the more direct…
Solid ride today. Before leaving the house, I was worried about the weather because of the cold snap that rolled through over the weekend. It was a little cool right out the door, but once I made it down Democracy the temperature was fine. I changed things up today by…
Woot woot Lifetime Friyays are back! I look forward to the every summer. Missed most of them in 2022 due to an injury. When I got back into town after my 2023 tour the rides were just wrapping up. Great way to add some extra miles and really earn my…
I love me some green lights. After stopping at the light at LVB and Volunteer, I didn’t see another red until Windmill. What an absolute joy that was! With a tailwind to boot! Strong ride home hitting my “intervals” as best I can. Wish I had longer stretches so they…
I’m absolutely in love with the spring mornings we’ve been having these past couple weeks. I don’t think you could ask for better riding weather. I’ll admit the winds were a little strong out of the south/southwest at the start which made the Democracy descent a little tricky. Following a…
Stupid Garmin. At least if it’s going to happen it’s better to have happened during a commute versus the DC this past weekend. In more positive news, it seems like my goal of hitting that polarized power distribution sweet spot is going well. New bike fund: $58.80 (+$0.00)209 vehicles @…
May have finally cracked the whole “Polarized” power output for my commutes. Put in efforts on the following segments: I’m going to try to keep hitting these segments as best as I can going forward and hopefully I’ll start getting stronger. Finally adding some structure to these commute miles to…
Another quick and easy ride to work and back. Did get some efforts in along the way back, but haven’t quite got those dialed in to how I’d like. My goal is to dial in my power and fall into a “polarized” output for the full ride. I’m getting there.…
Lesson of the day: “Never skip the pre-flight check.” I bent over to attach my floor pump to my rear tire when I spotted a bulge in the tire. A solid inch of the sidewall was separating from the bead. I’m not sure if the cycling Gods are angry with…
