Unfortunately, I’m a little too far removed from this ride to be able to really add anything meaningful to describe it. It was just another commute loop. Head wind on the way home was pretty awful. New bike fund: $25.48 (+$0.00)366 vehicles @ 9.8 per mile, 2.7 per minute, Speeds:…

Another one of those rides that I definitely needed. I skipped this weekend’s group ride to go provide support for my friend Caleb who was racing in the Hoodoo 500. The Hoodoo 500 is a 500 mile bike race in southwestern Utah. It was absolutely insane. I watched the temperatures…
Unfortunately by the time I’m getting around to post this much of the ride has faded from memory except one stand out interaction. I pull up to the light at Harmon and Paradise. As I’m sitting there I look to my right and there is a guy sitting there in…
Another weird one for me this weekend, I didn’t ride over to the start of the group ride. I’m still lacking the confidence to do an extended ride fearing I’ll fall apart at the end. Going to have to pull off the band aid sometime. Had a nice drive over…
You all can thank me for the rain this afternoon. I didn’t mount the fenders before leaving this morning because I didn’t want to be looking like a commute dork on the unofficial Lifetime Friday ride. Instead I just looked like a normal tail end of the group dork. I’d…
Not all that glitters is gold, or in this case silver. An electrical box knock out looks a lot like a quarter at 25+ MPH. Oh well, maybe next time. Today was a mediocre day at best book-ended by two solid rides. Home extremely late after a long day at…
I gotta say that this route is rapidly becoming my favorite. I mean riding along Las Vegas Boulevard has been up there since I started riding it last year. Now that I’ve extended it out by joining it at Speed Vegas it is even more enjoyable. I really like that…
I surprised a bunch of people today by NOT riding to the start of the group ride. I would be lying if I said it never crossed my mind. The ride over and back would have added 40 miles or so to this ride which, coupled with the Red Rock…
Woke up an hour earlier than I’d hoped this morning. I have no explanation as to why either. Either way after laying in bed for around 20 minutes I bit the bullet and got up and started the day. After my regular breakfast I left the house around 6:00 a.m.…
Decided to add a little trip out Via Inspirada this morning for some bonus miles. It’s nice to have a long stretch of road with minimal interruptions. Today was a perfect example of, “If you live by the tailwind you’ll die by the headwind”. Riding any segment northbound was awesome…
