Sadly no much to report for this commute. Things went pretty smoothly all things considered. Missed a couple small roads that I wanted for Wandrer. That just means I’ll need to pick them up some other time. Got lucky that I missed the rain on the way home. Say plenty…
Month: March 2023
Another chilly morning start to the commute. I’m glad I made the last minute decision to wear both shoe covers and a full jacket. I think if I’d gone with the vest only I would have been on the cold side. Ride in went well, but I need to moderate…
Good mix of hard and easy riding today. Day started early with a 4:00 a.m. wake up. Enjoyed a bowl of loaded overnight oats with toast and a glass of milk. Skipped on the coffee because I’m lazy and didn’t want to clean out my french press to make it.…
I started the week expecting a three commute week but mother nature changed those plans. Because of forecast winds I skipped Wednesday and rode today instead. Will skip Friday because I’m no longer particularly fond of back-to-back commuting days. Today’s ride was the first with the new Varia. Pulled the…
Happy to be home and back riding to work. Riding in my legs were certainly feeling fresh and the heart was just raring to go. Had difficulty keeping my heart rate in zone 2. Not sure if it’s because I’m so rested, was loaded on caffeine, or something else. Other…
Great way to wrap up the week. The ride in was a little chilly and required warm gloves and arm and leg warmers. Really digging riding along Arroyo Grande. Any road with new pavement AND a dedicated bike lane is awesome in my book. For the ride home I decided…
Finally back to commuting to work. I have no problem riding in the rain. I have fenders and a rain jacket to handle the wet. Wind, on the other hand, is something I just don’t do. The past two weeks have seen winds constantly 15+ MPH and gusts well north…
Wasn’t really sure I was going to roll out to this one. After yesterday’s big ride I was even more unsure. For sure there was no way I was going to ride over to the start at Centennial Subaru. When I heard that my boy Caleb was going to be…
I was hanging around the house early Thursday morning and got to chatting with Mark Hyken via text. During that conversation he mentioned he was riding on Friday with John and Anna and asked if I wanted to come along. Thankfully I’d taken both Thursday and Friday off and could…
