I’m absolutely in love with the spring mornings we’ve been having these past couple weeks. I don’t think you could ask for better riding weather. I’ll admit the winds were a little strong out of the south/southwest at the start which made the Democracy descent a little tricky. Following a…

Absolutely gorgeous day for a ride. I don’t think we could have asked for better weather. Checked in with Joy late last night to see if she wanted to roll to the start early, and thankfully she did. I don’t know why but I didn’t sleep well last night and…
A few months back I caught wind of the City of Las Vegas Corporate Challenge via a work email. I looked into it and found out there was a bike race component. I decided what the hell and signed up. Fast forward to today and had that carefree “what the…
Stupid Garmin. At least if it’s going to happen it’s better to have happened during a commute versus the DC this past weekend. In more positive news, it seems like my goal of hitting that polarized power distribution sweet spot is going well. New bike fund: $58.80 (+$0.00)209 vehicles @…
Achievement unlocked: 👑👑👑-✔️ Real quick shout out to everyone who sent me a text while I was out there. I don’t think I have the words to describe how it made me feel. Love y’all. What a day and what a ride. Don’t let the less than 6,800 feet of…
May have finally cracked the whole “Polarized” power output for my commutes. Put in efforts on the following segments: I’m going to try to keep hitting these segments as best as I can going forward and hopefully I’ll start getting stronger. Finally adding some structure to these commute miles to…
Another quick and easy ride to work and back. Did get some efforts in along the way back, but haven’t quite got those dialed in to how I’d like. My goal is to dial in my power and fall into a “polarized” output for the full ride. I’m getting there.…
Finally the highly anticipated Giant 3 Shops ride is done and dusted. Started the day with a trip down to Inspirada to pick up Joy for some extra credit before the start of the official ride. The quick ride out to LVB and down St. Rose went pretty well. The…
I’m really disappointed in myself right now. I was feeling amazing today. Just crushing it. Had a train of 3-4 guys behind me as we rolled into Long Beach. I was surprised to see that my average was north of 20 MPH. After a recharge at Bogart’s, the legs were…
Lesson of the day: “Never skip the pre-flight check.” I bent over to attach my floor pump to my rear tire when I spotted a bulge in the tire. A solid inch of the sidewall was separating from the bead. I’m not sure if the cycling Gods are angry with…
