What a day and what a ride, let’s dive right into it. I’d checked the weather a few days before and it appeared the temperature wouldn’t get into the 70s. Talking with Dave and Joy the night before it was forecast to get much warmer up near Ojai. Checking the…
Three centuries in five days? Yeah, I’m nuts. Then again I have a double double, two double centuries in two days, planned for the first weekend in December and felt this would be a judge of fitness for that. The morning started with a ride down to Inspirada to hook…
I absolutely love this annual event. It is one of the only times I know of, outside a global pandemic, where you can ride down the Las Vegas Strip unmolested by traffic. I’ve told countless Adobo Velo members from Southern California if they can only come to one event in…

Achievement unlocked: 👑👑👑-✔️ Real quick shout out to everyone who sent me a text while I was out there. I don’t think I have the words to describe how it made me feel. Love y’all. What a day and what a ride. Don’t let the less than 6,800 feet of…
