Going through the final preparation steps before my tour in 16 days. I took the Domane into Swanny’s a few weeks back to make sure everything was ready mechanically. Today was an appointment with Greg over at Sänus Sports to make sure the bike was ready from a fit standpoint.…

Today was a ‘Test Your Patience’ day. First happened along Koval about half way between Tropicana and Harmon. Up to this point things had been going great. Out of no where some lady decided to turn left in front of me into the International Villas Apartments. Really loved how she…
Finally back in the saddle for a commute! Pattern seems to be I wake up not wanting to ride. To take the easy way and just carpool with the wife. Then once I roll up to the office I say, “Damn I’ve missed this.” T-Minus 18 days until PCBR. Sunny-Partly…
Awesome day for a ride. Some northerly breezes which were stronger the further east we went, but I’m getting ahead of myself. No commuting last week, due to afternoon winds, combined with yesterday’s DNF left me hurting for some miles in a serious way. Was happy that Adobo Velo decided…
I originally signed up for Tour de Summerlin on 1/30/2020. I registered for the 40-mile route, size XL t-shirt, planning to ride my MTB. I was nervous as 40 miles was a BIG ride. Then COVID happened and that was put on hold. Since then I updated my registration to…
What a gorgeous day for a ride. Temps were perfect, route was outstanding, and the company was awesome! Got an early start and met up with a few guys at Anthem Hills Park and then rode on down to Pebble Marketplace. Ride up Horizon Ridge went really well. Kinda hung…
Beautiful morning for a ride. Did opt for arm warmers and they were just enough. Had a great tailwind on the way in and that’s where the #4 came from along St. Rose. That and I really needed to get out of everyone’s way. Absolutely HATE that section of St.…
Finally back riding to work. Stupid wind. Ride in was nice but chilly. Had to get out BOTH the arm AND leg warmers. Ride home was just about perfect. Now for some rest and relaxation before bed and doing it all again tomorrow. T-Minus 30 days until PCCT. Mostly sunny-Sunny,…
That was a fun one. Had planned on riding down to Pebble Marketplace to ride out with GVC, but received a text that another group of guys would be riding out earlier if I wanted to join. Rolled into Anthem Hills Park right as everyone was showing up. The timing…
Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. After bonking HARD on Saturday the 2nd I needed some time off the bike. On top of that I turned over 10K miles on the Domane and I wanted to send it in to Swanny’s for a tune and once over. This…
