Back on the Wandrer train and adding more miles to my commutes. I was pleasantly surprised with the stretch of Patrick between the Beltway and Decatur. It was a fun section to fly down with it having a slight downhill and smooth asphalt. Sure there were a couple rough sections…
Month: November 2023
Not quite the way I had thought I would do it, but I’ll take what I can get. Officially crossed over 10,000 miles for the year with this ride. I believe I was on pace to make 12K this year, but a few weeks of “real life” interfered with riding.…
During the Pedal & Pour Friendsgiving ride I was chatting with Jeans McGee, aka Dave Burns, and he’d mentioned that we were really close to the gun range. Since that conversation the gun range ride was in my mind. I sent a text over to Robert about it and he…

I want to start by saying that this ride’s title was automatically generated, and I didn’t take a spill on this ride. Unfortunately, that can’t be said for everyone. Robert had posted this ride a few weeks back and had to reschedule it due to other group rides happening in…
It’s been so long since I’ve split my commute into two separate rides. Sitting down trying to write this out I totally remember why I started combining them into one post. Not enough to really write about when they are separated. I kinda feel like I bit off a little…
Perfect example of why you don’t adjust the settings on your ride computer in the middle of a ride. Stupid me hit the “Save” button and here you are! Another example of, “Don’t touch it you’ll break it.” Anyway, went east this morning to avoid the debacle around the track…
I signed up for this ride months ago, and even set up a team page for Adobo Velo to boot. I will admit I didn’t even try to fundraise this year which is kinda disappointing, but there are plans for next year though. Anyway, Friday afternoon I got a text…
So THAT’s what Di2 is all about! Shifting is going to take some getting used to. I’m too accustomed to swinging the entire lever for down shifts and quick finger flicks for up shifts. Kept either missing or mixing them up. I’ll also need to get acclimated to the new…
Another ride I should have written about shortly after finishing it up. Adobo Velo November birthday ride out of PTs on Buffalo and Blue Diamond. Drove over to the start in order to get my floor pump back from Robert. I’d given it to him to use during his sag…
