Nice little shakeout ride to make sure the legs are still working and Shadow is ready to rock. Most fun I’ve had on a bike in a long time. An absolute blast of a ride. Also served as an excuse to log five more miles to take me over 1k…

A three day weekend means an extra day of riding, right? I’m pretty proud of myself for getting up and out of bed this morning to do this ride. I hadn’t committed to it in any way other than to myself. After Friday’s tough Lifetime ride and feeling awful for…
If I’m being entirely honest, in hind sight, I shouldn’t have gone out today. I just wasn’t really feeling it from the start all the way until Long Beach. We didn’t get to my in-laws house until 10:30 and I wasn’t in bed until an hour later. I didn’t set…
What is it with guys named “Tony” and their ability to get two flats on a single ride? I’d only heard about Tony Green, but witnessed it first hand this morning with Abe Froman {Enve} Chicago sausage King. Then we had two newbies join from the gym and at some…
Felt like garbage this morning. Most likely due to not going to bed until after 11 last night. Thankfully I felt better for the ride home, but the winds certainly didn’t make things easy. Best part of the ride was the random Westerwiener spotting. Was cursing along Pecos when I…

Oof that was tough. Heat set in again and I was struggling at stops 6 and 7 similar to Hemet. Thankfully some ice in the jersey and soaking the skull cap in ice water eventually did the trick and I was able to bring it home. More details later. When…
Ride in was great. I felt really good on the two hard segments, but I’m kinda bummed about the section after Sunset. I was cruising along at a good clip and feeling great but the left two lanes were closed and everyone collectively lost their minds. Everyone forgot that they…
Another day, another commute. I’m surprised how much fatigue I’m feeling in my legs today. Had a tough time keeping the power going during my segments, and they were achy for the entire day. I guess that’s what climbing Potosi will do to you. New bike fund: $59.46 (+$0.00)348 vehicles…
A ride not starting from my driveway!? What in the world?! Since the ride was scheduled to start at West Tech at 6:00 a.m. In order for me to get over there from the house would require leaving at 4:00 a.m. Oof that is a very tough ask. Instead I…
