Really need to strive to post recaps the day of the ride instead of waiting. Memory starts to fade so easily. Robert hit me up a week or so back asking if I’d host this month’s birthday ride for Adobo Velo. Of course I agreed. I asked him if he…
Month: April 2023
Great ride, great visit, and just overall great day. Started the morning with my typical Friday ride down to Scrambled. Invited the legend Joe Ruggles to join me. I rolled up to find that he’d decided to ride over and was already enjoying a seat on the patio. With this…
I joked with a buddy yesterday. “Pop quick MF. You go into your favorite bike shop for ONE tire. The tire you have is gum wall, but they only have black in stock…what do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO!?!” To which they replied, “Buy 2”. “You’re GD right you…
Well that sucked. Was feeling good after coming up soccer hill and crossing Anthem Hills Park before hitting Reunion. Just rolling through catching my breath and *POP* and rear tire goes completely flat. Give it a spin and find a nice inch long tear right along the edge of the…
I love the opportunity to do the Red Rock Loop because it happens so infrequently. I started the day with the intention of doing big miles after the official ride. I had a map drawn up with some Wandrer extra credit included if I got some alone time. I rode…
Another beautiful day for a commute! The day started off great. Had an awesome breakfast date with the kiddo. I’d been looking forward to it since last week when I realized that today was a staff development and senior project presentation day. I’d asked her if she wanted to join…
Finally back on the bike and riding to work. The winds over the past two days made it impossible to ride. Thankfully mother nature relented today and delivered beautiful temperatures and little wind. The rides today were great. I can really tell the difference in my attitude when I go…
What an absolutely gorgeous day for a ride. I started worried I’d be a little chilly at the start, but it was just warm enough to ride without any cool weather gear. Not carrying all that extra gear certainly made the ride that much more enjoyable. I started things off…
Took a risk and left the house with no cool weather gear on. I was regretting it for the first five minutes of the ride in, but after that I started feeling much better. That’s one of the difficulties of my morning commute being nearly downhill all the way to…
The idea for this ride just came to me while hanging out at the house. A quick Google search revealed that April 10th was the 100th day of the year so I figured why not? It started as 100 on the 100th, ride 100 miles on the 100th day of…
