I slept like garbage last night. Tossed, turned, and woke up every couple hours. When it was time to get up I lay there coming up with excuses to continue laying there: “I put in big miles this weekend.“, “My legs are burnt out.“, “My arms are sore.“, etc. Despite…
Month: February 2021
Lovely sunset tonight. Lots of red in all directions. Snapped a quick pick at the corner of St Rose and Coronado Center. The ride home was pretty nice, but definitely tired. Was surprised how quickly the temperatures dipped after the sun went down. From the looks of it I can…
Beautiful morning for a ride. Had a difficult time getting warmed up and never really got comfortable temperature wise for the entire ride. Of course after yesterday’s ride the old ticker didn’t want to wake up either with the heart rate staying low for the duration. Hoping for a nice…
Can’t believe I did the “Water Tank R-15 Climb”. I’ve been through there before, but never went up to the tank. I blame Doug Reinhart for going up there and taking some pics yesterday from the gate. As my wife told me when I sent her mine, “Did you have…
I knew early this morning I wanted to get in some miles today. After my daughter’s riding lesson, the weather was looking great and I was looking forward to hitting the road. However, when your sixteen year old daughter agrees to hang out and watch the UNLV basketball game, you…
8 MPH wind out of the north for my ride home? Yes please! That equates to 17 achievements, including 7 PRs, and a personal best for my evening commute! Bested my previous best time by over a minute and got home feeling ready for more. Such a great way to…
Another beautiful morning for a ride into the office. Morning news was talking about breezy conditions, but I didn’t really notice. Went with the short sleeved base layer and at the start the arms were a little cool, but once I cleared the fastest part of Anthem hills everything warmed…
67°F ride home?! During the first week of February? It was absolutely beautiful! I wish I had my summer gear with me for the trip. Made due with what I had and it wasn’t too terrible. Looking forward to more beautiful spring rides home as the year unfolds. No riding…

Feeling really good this morning. Ride in was nice. Lightened up on the gear some because this afternoon is forecast to be warmer. Made the ride a little cooler than I’m accustomed to, but on the positive flip side I wasn’t as sweaty as I’ve been in the past when…
