Pretty average ride home tonight. Felt relatively good, but had trouble really getting comfortable in the saddle. Not sure if it’s a fit issue or a bib issue. Not sure if I’ll be riding in tomorrow or not. What’s that yous say? “But Elvis you don’t ride on Fridays.” True…

Another crazy fast ride into the office today. Proof that tailwinds are as effective as radioactive slime at making you a superhero. I mean really 1122 max watts, on a commute? Crazy time. Feeling awesome though and loving every minute. Clear sky, 72°F, Feels like 63°F, Humidity 24%, Wind 9mph…
Hard to believe this was the first commute home since 5/3. Felt really good along the way but was definitely feeling the wind. Felt stiffer than 9 MPH that’s for sure. Also got a flat at the best place possible, just a few hundred feet from the house! Rode the…
Well that was ridiculously fun and fast, new fastest time, thanks to the crew over at Swanny’s Cycles. Got a call from Joseph that my Domane was ready for pickup with a new right shifter courtesy of Shimano’s warranty services. Zabi did a great job getting the shifter swapped out…
With the Domane in the shop with a busted right shifter it’s back to the old mountain bike for commuting. The difference between the two bikes is really staggering. Nearly double the weight and the completely different posture makes for an interesting ride. Add to that some headwind and the…
Had a great ride until my rear shifter/derailleur quit working leaving me stuck in my smallest two gears on the rear. Oh and of course it had to happen before the climbs around Lake Las Vegas. By some miracle was able to make it back to Lifetime, but wow was…
I’ve been eyeing this ride on and off for a while. I’d originally thought it led to The Strand, which is further west, and was disappointed when I mapped it and found it didn’t. At first I wanted to park at Azusa River Wilderness Park and do an out and…
Had to get the miles in early today since the heat is coming. Was a nice little spin over to Southern Highlands before coming back to Green Valley. Felt really strong, but still have soreness that develops in my right knee as the ride gets longer. Probably would have done…
What an absolute blast of a ride. Sure the climb from downtown to the top of Alta was a challenge; NV-159 (Red Rock Canyon Rd/Blue Diamond Rd) was a ball buster; and the climb back up to Alta from Charleston felt like a twin for the Democracy climb. I would…
Boy was that a toughy. Second ride with the LifeTime crew and we were just MOVING. Was out there just crushing it doing my best to keep up. Got a ton of PRs because I was getting towed, but you gotta take what you can get. First time ever doing…
