Another gorgeous morning for a ride. On the cool side, but not bad once you get moving. Really enjoying riding on the road bike. Just have to get a few minor things dialed in before it’ll be perfect. A little slower than yesterday morning, but not by much. Had to…

Absolutely crushed it on the way home tonight. It’s just so easy to go fast on the road bike versus the MTB. Got home plenty early and felt like I could go out and log a few more miles. Really enjoyed the ride and looking forward to more commutes on…
On Friday, I took the time to load up with stuff for the office on my drive in. Brought clothes, food, and water. This reduced the amount of stuff I needed to bring from two panniers to a small backpack. That means I get to ride the Domane to work…
Great way to finish off another week of commuting. Faster than average, but wasn’t breaking any records. Felt good and strong along the way. Now for at least one day off the bike before a nice long joy ride. Mostly Clear, 52°F, Feels like 52°F, Humidity 16%, Wind 2mph from…
Remember the Lipton Brisk Ice Tea commercials from back in 2009 with the puppets in black and white? Remember the one with ‘Rocky’ in it? “Yo, that’s brisk baby!”? Yeah that pretty much sums up this morning. And if you don’t remember…here it is: Sunny, 34°F, Feels like 34°F, Humidity…

Chilly and brisk morning for a ride. Knowing stronger winds are forecast for this evening I rode in anyway. Those evening winds will be out of the NNE which should give me a nice push home. Keeping my fingers crossed. The worst part of the wind this morning was the…
Another nice evening ride home. Got home and was busy with household things. Then sat down to watch the UNLV basketball game with the kiddo. Long way of saying I didn’t get time to hop online and update the details on this ride other than the title, bike, and tagging…

Another beautiful ride in this morning. Still chilly, but the gear is doing its job keeping me warm. Going to need replacement shoe covers sooner than later. Trying to use Castelli road shoe covers with Shimano MTB shoes didn’t work out so well. The hole for the cleats is pretty…
