Nice ride home tonight. Temps were dipping into the upper 50s making it almost too cool for only arm warmers. I ground it out and avoided digging out my jacket along the way home. Tried to take it easy and not blow up my legs like I feel I’ve been…

Chilly, but nice morning for a ride. Thankful to have good thermal gear for when it’s this cold it makes the rides quite enjoyable. Rode nice and easy to avoid destroying my legs. They’re still sore from the past two rides, but not too bad. Hoping to keep them feeling…
What a ride. Was really trying to send it this afternoon. Felt really strong for the entire ride and felt like I left 90% out on the road. Set several PRs which was good to see after putting in such an effort. Looking forward to resting tonight and tomorrow before…
New saddle day! Finally received the replacement saddle for my Domane. It matches the saddle I have on my commuter except that the padding is slightly slimmer and the nose narrower. Things started out good, but by the time I got to Via Inspirada and LVB I had to stop…
I must say that I’m surprised at how well I actually did tonight. I mean I wasn’t fast, wasn’t slow, but solely average. While I was riding I felt like I was just slogging along and was certain that I was crawling. So pleasantly surprised to see I did better…
Always nice to have great weather to wrap up the week. Was another nice one this morning only needing arm warmers to make it to the office. Looks like next week will be a cold one with overnight lows around freezing and highs at or below 60°F. That’ll make for…
Two perfect nights in a row? Yes please! Another beautiful evening for a ride. Felt good the entire ride home if not a little on the slow side. Witnessed some instant karma tonight. Was at Pecos and the 215 sitting at the red along with a Metro officer on his…
Seeing that the temperature was only 58°F I’m surprised I didn’t feel cooler. It honestly felt at least 4-6 degrees warmer out there. I’ll take what I can get before the cold snap that is due to arrive this weekend. Really nice and chill ride in. Felt good, relaxed and…
Perfect. That’s the word I would use to describe the weather on the ride home tonight. I don’t think I could have asked for better conditions. Really enjoyed my first night commute home. Favorite stretch was along Reunion after climbing past Del Webb. Caught myself just pedaling along, enjoying the…
