I’m thrilled to be back on the bike for the first time since Tuesday evening. I took a trip to SoCal this past weekend and, because I had previous family plans, a ride to the beach wasn’t in the cards this trip. The legs are feeling fantastic after the minor…
Month: April 2025
An interesting change of route for today’s rides. As I mentioned in a previous post, during Friday’s Scrambled breakfast I ended up working a filling loose in one of my teeth. Today was the earliest they could work me in. I decided last night I’d try to stick with my…
Oof my left foot is absolutely killing me right now. Walking is an absolute nightmare, but, thankfully, riding is no big deal so I ride. The legs are certainly feeling a little sluggish after this weekend’s insanely quick double century down in Hemet. I’m sure a few more miles of…
It started three years ago with a simple premise: ride 100 or more miles on the 100th day of the year. It’s funny how much has changed since then. At that time riding a century for me was a big deal and didn’t happen very often. Now I’m cranking one…
A one off Wednesday commute this semester. I had a group study session for my database class on Tuesday night so riding and joining the gang for the post-ride meal wasn’t a part of yesterday’s agenda. Thankfully I was able to make up those miles with today’s commute before tomorrow’s…
Another bone standard commute loop. Thankfully Spring Break at UNLV coincides with CCSD’s Spring break making for lighter traffic for the remainder of the week, I hope. New bike fund: $93.83 (+$0.60), €1.52 (+€0.00), ₱10.00 (+₱0.00), ֏10.00 (+֏0.00)397 total shifts, 35 front, 362 rear. 75.1% of the ride in the…
The more appropriate title for this ride would be Ride to Remember, but I couldn’t resist this gem of a ride title brought to you by Boots herself. A solid day’s worth of riding. The winds were kinda tough coming out of the north for most of the day, but…
Honestly another easy breakfast commute. No really important details to remember all these days later. New bike fund: $92.98 (+$0.31), €1.52 (+€0.00), ₱10.00 (+₱0.00), ֏10.00 (+֏0.00)363 total shifts, 48 front, 315 rear. 77.6% of the ride in the big ring, 22.4% in the small ring. Most time spent in 52×21,…

Unfortunately nothing much to write about this now nearly three week old ride. Looking at the weather data it was certainly cooler than I would have liked. I vaguely remember feeling quite cool about halfway through the ride as we regrouped a few times. Outside that it’s all a blur.…
