Weather was a dream for the first half of this ride, but the second half was hot and sticky. The official Adobo Velo ride started from Mountains Edge Park and planned on swinging by Pebble Marketplace on the way out to Boulder City. This meant I got to sleep in…

The morning ride in was absolutely gorgeous. Temps were great, but the humidity made it a little sticky and was kinda damp when I rolled into Scrambled for breakfast. I set off a little later than last week because I ended up sitting for 15 minutes waiting for Scrambled to…
Not sure if the Cycling Gods are happy or angry with me. I rode in without mounting my fenders in case of rain. It did rain all along my route, but before I left the office. Then the rain held off for my entire ride home. So that’s good? Then…
To ride in Vegas you gotta be ready to get a little SALTAY! Skipping yesterday’s big Mt. Charleston ride, I wanted to get out and do some miles today. Thankfully was able to get hooked up with the GVC gang for a ride down to Jean. Instead of going all…
