Days like today leave me yearning for spring. Frustrating to get all dressed up for a cold ride and then strip it all off to ride home, but still have to lug it around. Overall, ride was good. Once I got down to Volunteer I started to warm up nicely.…

How ’bout that. Two group rides in one day. Not too bad if I do say so myself. No scheduled group rides on Saturday left my Sunday free. Hadn’t gone with Lifetime in a while so figured I hit up their B group ride. Then saw that GVC would be…
Today was the first time I wasn’t the only cyclist at Scrambled enjoying breakfast. I rolled up shortly after they opened and looked across and spotted an older gentlemen locking up his flat bar bike to the bike rack. Was given the impression they were a casual rider, but still…
One of the things I enjoy about my commutes are the regulars. The people I see almost every day around the same spot at the same time. I like saying “Good morning/evening” to most everyone I pass while riding, and the regulars make that a little more rewarding. One of…
Kinda crazy that the temperature coming home was pretty much the same as when I left in the morning. Yeah it was a chilly one that’s for sure. Ride in was pretty nice once I’d made it to LVB. Was fighting a decent cross wind the entire length of Volunteer.…
Three day weekend and my father-in-law’s birthday means a trip to SoCal for the weekend. Ask everyone if I could bring the bike and go for a ride and got the green light. Last time I brought the bike I did a very similar route. Pretty much stuck to the…
Probably the toughest ride in to work in a while. I left the house knowing it would be a windy one. Made it down through Anthem without issue, and started fighting cross winds along Volunteer. When I rounded the corner onto LVB it was like hitting a brick wall of…
Decent day for riding. Nice to be riding in with temps in the mid-40s to low 50s. I know it won’t be long before it’ll be in the 80s and 90s on my morning rides in. Felt like I had some tail wind on both rides. Riding in had a…
Nothing like a freshly cleaned and lightly tuned bike to make you want to rip your own legs off. Spent almost all day yesterday doing maintenance and cleaning the bike. It rode so nice today. It’s amazing how much a little TLC can do to improve a ride. Ride in…
Absolutely beautiful day for a ride. Started the ride with the same gear I’ve been commuting in. By the time we hit the first stop at Railroad Pass the arm warmers came off. Before our small group left Crafthaus I had to take off my wool base layer. Really hard…
