Alternative title: The ride where I fell down, went boom, and got some ouchies. Riding home late Friday night I got to thinking about riding on Saturday. The more I thought about how late I was going to get home and how early I’d have to get up the more…

Group rides with Green Valley Lifetime
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…
You know summer is nearly over when Lifetime Fridays are nearing an end. Mindy shared this morning that next week would be the last until next year. Despite these rides being tough at times I’m certainly going to miss them. If you don’t push yourself to go faster, you’ll never…
Oof another hard Lifetime ride. As much as I complain about how hard these rides are I know in the back of my mind that they’re making me better. Not sure if we went harder because Mindy wasn’t around to keep us in check or I’m just feeling it more…
What is it with guys named “Tony” and their ability to get two flats on a single ride? I’d only heard about Tony Green, but witnessed it first hand this morning with Abe Froman {Enve} Chicago sausage King. Then we had two newbies join from the gym and at some…

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…
Couldn’t decide what to name this. Choices were either “Lifetime With a Side of Commuting” or “Commuting With a Side of Lifetime”. It was nearly equal parts each. The Lifetime portion was like the meat and potatoes and the commute was the easy after. Then again commuting is a “have…
That was a fun one. Had planned on riding down to Pebble Marketplace to ride out with GVC, but received a text that another group of guys would be riding out earlier if I wanted to join. Rolled into Anthem Hills Park right as everyone was showing up. The timing…
With yesterday’s group rides cancelled due to high winds that left my Sunday free for a Lifetime ride. With my weekends being the way they are, Sunday morning rides are few and far between so it was nice to still be able to get out with a group. Another small…
