Excellent way to wrap my week of commuting. Had a nice ride home, but was starting to struggle towards the end. I’m surprised to see that my time was very similar to last night. Looking forward to a nice breakfast date and carpool with the wife tomorrow morning. Mostly Cloudy,…

Another beautiful brisk morning. The high humidity and cool temperatures remind me of northern California’s redwood country and has me longing for a return trip. I’m hoping that campgrounds open in time for spring break because I have a couple epic rides planned. Ride in was nice and chill. Still…
I can’t believe I missed the Harmon – Eastern to McCleod KOM by ONE measly second. Going to have to give it another spin, but damn if I didn’t fell like I gave it my all. Of course that massive effort left me burnt out for the remainder of the…
Was starting to feel like I was never going to get back on the bike let alone commute. Weather has been a nightmare for commuting, and other responsibilities have kept me busy during the weekends. Thankfully the starts aligned and I got a commute in this morning. This was a…
