Pop quiz. You’re commuting northbound on Las Vegas Blvd waiting at a red light to turn left onto St. Rose Pkwy. While you’re sitting there, a group of four cyclists go barreling through the green light going north on Las Vegas Blvd and hollering your name. You quickly realize they’re…

How can you call it a bike club picnic if you don’t bike with the club to the picnic? 🤔 I was reminded yesterday that there was a GVC picnic planned for today and had a few people ask if I was going. I hemmed and hawed thinking about it…
So this is what it feels like to ride 100 miles and NOT feel like your ass is on fire at the end? Whenever we have a big event like Ride to Remember all the locals come out in support which is a beautiful thing, but it also means the…
It’s funny how today was another live by the tailwind, die by the headwind kind of day. Similar to Tuesday, but in opposite. During the ride to work I was dealing with a headwind. Thankfully it wasn’t too bad, but it was certainly noticeable. The wind remained out of the…

Honestly not too much to say about this ride. After yesterday’s century I knew I wanted to get out for another ride. I checked GVC and the rides were all either Cat B and slower, or would be too long. I settled for just spinning around the neighborhood. After my…
