Oof, just when I thought yesterday was cold! Today was even worse. Thankfully my “deep winter” gear kept me warm. Even opened up the shell on the way in to cool me off a little. All morning long while sitting in the office I knew Kant was out riding his…

Today was one of those days where I kinda felt like Job from the bible. You know the story where God and Satan go back and forth with Job’s life? For me, it was Mother Nature and the Cycling Gods going at it, especially in the morning. The morning was…
I’ve been pretty busy with work this past week and I was surprised when Thursday rolled around and there wasn’t an Adobo Velo ride posted yet. I shot Robert a text message to see if he had any plans. Last thing I want is to step on the boss man’s…

We certainly got lucky on this one. I don’t think we could have asked for better weather on the first of January for a century ride. It started cool, but ended near perfect. Great way to start the year. It was an unusual start to today’s ride because I chose…
