Getting today’s ride done was only made possible by teamwork. I have to be honest, as I started down Horizon Ridge this morning I started having doubts about this ride. Just something nagging at the back of my head that I should reconsider. The miles will be too many. The…

Mmmmmm tacos. Was getting worried early this week that there wasn’t going to be an AV ride. No biggie really, would just draw one up myself if needed, but Robert came through and posted something. The ride from the origin was going to be like 40 something miles and I…
If you thought I was going to skip my regular Friday breakfast date at Scrambled just because I have Nevada Day off, you’d be sorely mistaken. Started by riding straight there and enjoyed a nice relaxing meal for about an hour before mounting back up and heading home. I’d mapped…
Another beautiful day another nice commute. I was a little nervous leaving the house this morning after watching the weather forecast. The morning news was talking about 20+ MPH winds all day and looking out my back window all the trees were dancing. Thankfully I avoided the worst of the…
You commute on carbon wheels? Yeah I do and I’d daily an exotic too. First flight on my new set of Bontrager Aeolus Pro 51s. Very impressed with the increased handling and stability versus the Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25s they replaced. But can you really directly compare the two? Having…

Oof almost chilly start this morning. Garmin is reporting a low down near 57°F which is probably just about right. Definitely feeling the bite of fall and, from the sounds of it, it’s only going to get worse. Not really ready to be riding in the cold again. Then again…
Mornings are starting to get chilly. Haven’t had to resort to the thermal arm warmers yet, but I have been wearing my sun sleeves before sunrise! Only a matter of time before the arm warmers are coming out and wool base layers. Ugh, not looking forward to the cold commutes…
Two rides in one weekend!?! What is going on?? I went into yesterday’s ride thinking it would be a slow noodle down to Jean and back. With that in mind I’d already planned on doing this Sunday ride. Worked it out with the little darling that I’d ride with GVC…
What an absolute blast. Had an amazing time with some amazing riders today. Started the day early with a little extra credit before riding down to the start. I had thrown out the idea of meeting up with some Adobo Velos at the Green Valley Grocery at the corner of…
