120 planned but cut short due to a sick employee. Off to work I go! A great little Adobo Velo monthly birthday spin from PTs at Green Valley Pkwy and Horizon Ridge out to Lake Las Vegas and back. I was feeling pretty good for the entire ride which was…

Another day, another commute in the books. Still feeling good. Next week will be interesting with the kiddo’s boyfriend in town. It will make getting the commutes in a little difficult. Also the shortened holiday week won’t help matters either. New bike fund: $76.24 (+$0.00)324 vehicles @ 8 per mile,…

Alternative title, “Shoulda made it a double.” I kinda have a love-hate relationship with the ride to Overton. I love that it’s long and overall uninterrupted; however, I’m convinced it’s cursed, for me at least. The day started with the typical trip down to Inspirada to meet up with Joy…
After the past two days of massive rides a recovery ride was certainly in order. I sent Joy a few text messages asking if she wanted to join and she agreed to meet me at the Starbucks near the Bicentennial dog-bone. I’d told her that it was going to be…
Three centuries in five days? Yeah, I’m nuts. Then again I have a double double, two double centuries in two days, planned for the first weekend in December and felt this would be a judge of fitness for that. The morning started with a ride down to Inspirada to hook…
I absolutely love this annual event. It is one of the only times I know of, outside a global pandemic, where you can ride down the Las Vegas Strip unmolested by traffic. I’ve told countless Adobo Velo members from Southern California if they can only come to one event in…
I have been looking forward to this ride since Roehl told us he was coming to town and wanted to ride. The anticipation continued to build as Kant and I went back and forth refining the ride adding some of our favorite segments. I’m pretty happy with the results despite…
Nothing worse than coming out of Back to the Future The Musical and finding a screw in one of the tires of the kiddo’s car. On Sunday, I took it to Big O and they said it wasn’t repairable so I returned home with it to take it to Discount…
