Just like this morning, I wanted to take tonight’s ride home a little easier than usual. Wasn’t my slowest ride, but kept it right around average. Got home feeling pretty good and ready to enjoy a peaceful evening. Clear, 96°F, Feels like 96°F, Humidity 5%, Wind 4mph from ENE –…

Really wanted to dial it back a few notches this morning and, looking at the numbers, I feel I was successful. Trying to give my legs a small break to recover from the past few rides of crushing it. Also hoping to work out some soreness. Was another beautiful morning…
Not sure what came over me tonight. Maybe it was the Panda bowl I had as second lunch around 3:30? I was riding and feeling really good pushing through any fatigue and pain. It paid off by finishing over 4 minutes faster than my previous best. Also rocked out a…
Felt really strong this morning. I’m somewhat disappointed to look at the stats and realize that I didn’t break my previous fastest time. Only missed it by about a minute. Oh well. Weather was amazing. Almost broke out my light jacket, but decided against it. Going to miss these beautiful…
Nothing like a near perfect 10 MPH tailwind to help push you all the way home. Beat my previous time by a full minute and I don’t feel like I pushed nearly as hard as I could have. Also was thrilled at how much cooler it was today. Sadly it…
The weekend ends with a nice commute this morning. Must say those winds out of the north were on the chilly side. Made the long haul along Pecos a little challenging. I hope they last because I’d enjoy a tailwind home. Spent much of the day yesterday on maintenance tasks…
What a great day for a ride. I was up late last night working on the commuter upgrading the brakes from BB5s to BB7s. Spent about 8 hours in total trying to get them to mount up right and adjusted without rubbing or, in the worst case, not spinning at…
Not a bad way to wrap up another week of commuting. Finished about three minutes slower than my previous best, but I did that best last night! Legs are definitely sore this evening and I’m sure tomorrow will be even worse. Looking forward to car pooling with the little darling…
Felt great this morning and the time shows. My fastest ride to work yet. Averaged 18.6 MPH (29.9 KPH) and beat my previous best by 1:40. It felt like I hit all the green lights today so that may have had something to do with it. Either way felt amazing.…
I met a former co-worker and friend for some lunch at Chipotle and decided I needed to punish myself for such a splurge. Also realized that the wind was relatively still so I decided to really push myself tonight. It seems to have paid off as this was my fastest…
