A little delayed but I’ve finally logged my first commute of the year. Feeling pretty good considering the hard 120 miles I logged yesterday. The legs weren’t too thrilled about putting in any significant efforts. I also started getting cold as I was passing through Anthem Hills Park and decided…

After being a slacker this past week I was itching for some mileage, and since the Saturday Adobo Velo was replaced with an Adopt-A-Highway, that left me searching for a ride. I decided I’d ride over to the Pedal & Pour coffee Ride and then tack on more mileage afterwards.…
I’m not entirely sure what to say about 2024. Reviewing 2023, 2024 pales in comparison because, most notably, there was no Pacific Coast tour. However, at the tail end of 2023 I’d told Robert that 2024 would be “The year of the double” in response to his hounding to join…

I seriously considered driving over to the Summerlin Giant location in order to join their 9:00 a.m. ride this morning. I even went so far as to put the bike rack on the truck. A few text messages back and forth with Boots changed all that. Don’t get me wrong,…
I still needed some miles in order to complete this year’s Rapha 500 challenge, and last night I remembered that Robert usually does a ride on Tuesday mornings. After a brief text exchange I figured I’d give it a go. With the ride scheduled to start at 6:00 it would…
When Boots asks if you want to ride, you say yes. If I’m being totally honest, if she hadn’t asked me to ride I would have remained at home all day glued to the couch. In typical fashion though I never regret going out once it’s all said and done.…
Another great day for a ride considering it’s the end of December. I started the morning with leg warmers and arm warmers under my thermal jersey. Ended the day missing both. Yeah it was that nice. Picked up Boots at the usual spot and made for Pebble Marketplace. As we…
Oof chilly start to the day. It felt like one of the coolest days of the year to date. Nice ride down to breakfast and I got to hang out with Moose before continuing on to work. Pretty chill day at the office. Then to cap things off a nice…
I went back and forth debating whether to drive or ride to the start of this ride. After discussing it with Boots, we agreed that driving over would be the safer bet. While the start was scheduled for the DFH Dunkin’, the extra few miles from Pedal & Pour would…
