Very excited to get out there today. I had planned on riding on Sunday but the weather absolutely refused to cooperate. Winds were steady at 30 MPH with gusts up to 50 MPH and some parts of the valley had 60+. No way was I riding in that kind of…

What a difference a few hours makes for the temps here in Vegas. It’s almost to the point that if you don’t leave at or before 7:00, maybe 8:00 at the latest, you might as well stay at home. Any later and you’ll start off strong, but the oppressive heat…
Got a very late start today. Had to go get some blood work done for my annual checkup in a few weeks, and I always follow up those appointments with breakfast at the Henderson Black Bear Diner. So after my Mini Volcano breakfast I hurried home to get started on…
“Strike that, reverse it.”, that’s the theme of this ride. Was talking with my wife the other evening about how I dislike grinding up Democracy on EVERY ride. It’s just one of those things living up in Madeira Canyon you have to deal with. Maybe once I upgrade to a…
Weekends are usually very busy for me. Daughter has horseback riding lessons on both Saturday and Sunday. Thankfully her Saturday lesson is late enough in the morning that I could get out early and put on some miles. Of course this meant that I was up against a time crunch…
I love it when Bandok comes up with a perfect name for a ride. 25 achievements on Strava including 15 personal records. Funny thing is most of those records were because I wasn’t going against the wind like I was the first time I rode those segments. Happy with the…
I can be just as non-competitive as anybody. Matter of fact, I’m the most non-competitive. So I win.

Was one of those mornings where you look at the weather and just don’t wanna. Despite that I made myself get out there and put in some miles. Overall, the ride went pretty well. Added a few more miles since I’m still trying to get back to where I was…
Absolutely beautiful morning for a ride. Getting out there before the heat of the day is awesome. Stretched my ride out just a little more than Friday’s as I’m still getting back into the grove after my three week hiadus. Picked up a PR and a couple 2nd fastest times…
Forced myself to cut this ride short since I’m still getting back into things after my three week break. Felt pretty bad after Wednesday’s ride and preferred to not have a repeat. Overall, ride went good but I need to make a few more adjustments to the grips because my…
First ride in three weeks and it definitely felt like it. I knew I should have taken it easier, but obviously didn’t listen. Thinking I could just hop on and crank out 35 miles after a three week break was stupid. Was definitely tired at the end, but super excited…
