Not sure why but the legs were just not there this morning. Just past Alcobaca St I called down to the legs, “Hey boys I need x watts.” The legs replied, “Yeah know we don’t think that’s going to happen, best we can do is y.” “No boys you don’t…

After my alarm went off this morning, I debated going out for a recovery ride. I’d brought extra kit just in case, and had a route all drawn up and ready to go. After laying in bed for 15 minutes I finally got up and started getting ready. The weather…
This route never gets old. I must admit though I do continue to tweak it here and there in order to make little quality of life improvements. This time out I updated the route from Santa Fe Dam to the Rio Hondo Bike Path. The first time I tried this…
I have to admit that I struggled to get up and on the bike this morning. I didn’t have to work today on account of it being Nevada Day (observed). I could have easily put on street clothes and drove down to Scrambled, enjoyed a nice relaxing breakfast, and driven…
A fairly bone standard day of commuting with a loop out to the dentist for good measure. I do have to hand it to my dentist and their office staff though. I’ve rode into their office on a few occasions and never once have they given me grief about bringing…
The mornings aren’t even really cold and I’m already finding myself struggling to get dressed to ride into the office. It feels pathetic if I’m being honest. Once I get out the door I’m cold for maybe all of three miles. Then I’m down on the flats south of Inspirada…
Couldn’t have asked for a better morning for a recovery and remembrance ride. I really soaked it in rolling along Town Center while looking east into the valley while soft pedaling. It made me nostalgic for my tour last year. The vibes were very similar. Had a chance to ride…
An absolute banger of a day to ride. The day started early with cool temperatures and the long sleeve summer jersey and wool baselayer were perfect for the conditions. Thankfully, the entire day remained cool or the wool baselayer may have ended up being a little too much. Overall, happy…
It’s mornings like today’s that help undo the BS I had to deal with on Monday. The sunrise was gorgeous. I didn’t get any brilliant red, but the yellows and oranges were good enough for me. Another solid day of riding. Coming home was a challenge due to a stiff…
Ahh the joys of commuting in Las Vegas, you really can’t beat it. From breathing in the dust of an imploded hotel in the morning to being told to “get off the street”, having a 30ft box truck nearly running a stop sign to broadside you, to having someone in…
