I must say that today was the first ride where I’ve felt back to my old self from before my fall. Had a few solid efforts along the way and the legs were asking for more. It’s also the first time I’ve come home and not wanted to immediately lay…

I’m one to always tout how awesome it is to commute to work. Refreshing wake-me-up rides in. Lovely end of day rides home. Blah blah blah. But things aren’t always rainbows, unicorns, glitter, descents, tail winds, and smooth asphalt. Is there anything worse than walking up to your car to…
An odd sort of ride today, guess it matches the odd sort of week I’m having. With appointments yesterday and Friday, I’m riding on Tuesday and Thursday this week. On the ride in I felt I had difficulty keeping my heart rate in Zone 2. I’d start putting some power…
I wanted to get in a recovery ride this morning after yesterday’s big ride. The ride out to the dam was my new longest ride since July 1st, but only by three miles. Happy to say that, even though I was cooked after, I wasn’t hurting as bad as the…

Another great day of commuting. The morning ride in was pretty nice. Temps weren’t too terrible, but the humidity was still elevated. I’ll take it though. Snapped a couple pics along the way. Nice pic of my partner (my shadow) and couple good pics of the Welcome to Las Vegas…
