Bit of a chilly one this morning. Had to throw on the long sleeve base layer to stay warm. Ride in was nice, but the winds definitely felt more northerly than easterly. The numbers say the effort was very similar to yesterday and I feel that’s accurate. Looking forward to…

Another commute home with an amazing tail wind? Yes please! I will say the winds were definitely more pronounced during segments that didn’t have me going due south. Harmon was definitely the worst of it. Was getting blown around pretty good and couldn’t get to Pecos fast enough. Overall, felt…
Beautiful morning for a ride even with the mild head wind. Much better than yesterday. With the lighter wind I felt more confident to put on a little more speed. Yesterday I slowed it down a little because I was getting buffeted around, today not so much. Highlight of the…
15 MPH tailwind? Yes please! With that much of a tailwind I nearly crushed all my PRs. Also took advantage to nab my first KOM. Hope it lasts. The ride home was really fast and enjoyable. That much of a tailwind really does make a difference when you’re climbing 1200…
Watching the morning news I had some concerns about hitting the road with the wind. I decided to get out and brave it anyway. I don’t regret it. There were a couple spots that were a little sketchy with a cross wind, but overall it wasn’t too bad. Looking forward…
The ride home was pretty uneventful until I was nearly hit. Someone in a Toyota sedan nearly rolled through their stop at Etude onto Reunion and right into me. Thankfully I had seen them and had already started moving out of the bike lane and into traffic lanes. Still it…
Not sure where all the speed and power came from, but wow. Best performance on my commute in yet. Almost in under 49 minutes! Felt refreshed and really good this morning. Great way to start wrapping up the week. Let’s hope this kind of power hangs around until this afternoon.…
Felt surprisingly good tonight. Much much better than last night that is for sure. So dang warm. I know this may sound like a weird complaint, but when I leave in the mornings it’s in the mid- to upper- 40s. When I leave the office it’s around 70, and the…
Not entirely sure where all the speed came from this morning. I felt so good on the bike! Amazing what a really good night’s sleep will do for you. Mostly Sunny, 45°F, Feels like 45°F, Humidity 42%, Wind 3mph from WSW – by Klimat.app
Felt like absolute garbage once the elevation started. No legs to speak of. Why can’t my commutes be downhill both ways? Only a couple days left until a day off the bike and then on to the weekend. Rain Showers, 63°F, Feels like 63°F, Humidity 23%, Wind 5mph from ESE…
