I’m a little far removed from this one as I write this nearly two weeks later. From what I recall it was a solid ride both to and from the office. New bike fund: $87.20 (+$0.00), €1.52 (+€0.00), ₱10.00 (+₱0.00), ֏10.00 (+֏0.00)351 total shifts, 30 front, 321 rear. 77.0% of…

First day I was able to both start and end the ride in shorts! I still had to don arm warmers for the ride to work however. Today was the second Tuesday using the slightly modified route to and from work and it is working well. The only portion I’m…
Finally back on the bike after no riding over the weekend. I had a family trip down to Rancho Cucamonga and due to family event scheduling I couldn’t get in a beach ride. Certainly a bummer, but also not the end of the world either. I was feeling rather good…
Ahh another Tuesday, another commute, another LVAV Tuesday night pain fest. I don’t know what I was thinking commuting and doing the Tuesday night ride after yesterday’s century ride. The legs were feeling relatively garbage for the ride to work in the morning, but felt better at the end of…
Another day, another ride, another century. When you have President’s Day off you gotta jump at the chance to log some miles, especially if you have a beautiful weather forecast. I had a chat with Boots the night before about doing a ride today. Later in the day she came…
The original plan for today was to ride out, do the loop, and then on the way back to Pedal & Pour snap a picture at the Adopt-A-Highway sign with the new Adobo Velo sign attached. Unfortunately with all the rain over the past few days there were sections of…
Second week of commuting followed by a Adobo Velo sufferfest. Despite everyone being “tired” from Saturday’s double century, the ride was spicy. The ride to work was pretty uneventful. It was a little chilly and I had a difficult time warming up which I attribute to the fact the route…
Something a little different today. I received a text message Sunday afternoon from Moose asking if he could borrow Elmo, my Toyota Tacoma, to haul some old stuff out of his garage. After talking about it on the phone, I thought it would be easiest for him to use Elmo…
That was certainly a tough one, but it was well worth it. I’ve been toying around with the idea of a double century in Las Vegas for a while. I’ve even floated the idea of a “Southern Nevada DC Challenge” and created a few routes to support such an enterprise.…
Alternative title: Dave’s PR Quest Today was the first Tuesday I’ve been able to stitch together a commute and Adobo Velo Tuesday night ride, and I’m really happy with the results. The route from Pedal & Pour to work and back is solid. The most difficult portion is in the…
