I signed up for this ride months ago, and even set up a team page for Adobo Velo to boot. I will admit I didn’t even try to fundraise this year which is kinda disappointing, but there are plans for next year though. Anyway, Friday afternoon I got a text…

So THAT’s what Di2 is all about! Shifting is going to take some getting used to. I’m too accustomed to swinging the entire lever for down shifts and quick finger flicks for up shifts. Kept either missing or mixing them up. I’ll also need to get acclimated to the new…
Another ride I should have written about shortly after finishing it up. Adobo Velo November birthday ride out of PTs on Buffalo and Blue Diamond. Drove over to the start in order to get my floor pump back from Robert. I’d given it to him to use during his sag…
My apologies, not much to write about this one. It was a special event to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the River Mountain Loop Trail. I should have written about it the day of, but that didn’t happen and now, a week later, the details are a little to fuzzy.…
Today was just not the best for commuting. It certainly could have been better; however, it most certainly could have been worse. One thing I hate about taking time off from my morning commute is that once it’s time to get back at it it’s a struggle. This morning was…

Been looking forward to this ride since I mentioned it to Robert a few weeks back. It’s certainly one of my favorites. I had Friday off due to the observance of Nevada Day, and in the afternoon I sent Joy a text message asking if she wanted to carpool over…
Great ride to work today. Started a little earlier than usual so I decided to extend my ride by going west all the way to Durango and then north to Hacienda. Hacienda between Durango and Rainbow was a dream. The road surface was great and there were no stops or…
Another solid commute with nothing terribly crazy or important to report. I did see a guy walking his bike along Horizon Ridge and I stopped to see if there was anything I could do for him. He was on an older mountain bike and needed a wrench to remove the…
Great day for a ride. Changed up the route a little, on both the ride out and back, to enjoy some new roads. The gnats were AWFUL today. They started near Santa Fe dam and again once I was onto the Rio Hondo and continued on the LA River. There…
