Beautiful day for a ride. Last night I’d read on the ride event page that a couple guy were coming over from Mountain’s Edge Park along Cactus. I chimed in and said I’d meet them at the corner of Cactus and LVB. I got there earlier than I expected so…

Oof today was a frigid one. Read on the RJ that the airport recorded the freezing temperature in 674 days. Last time it was this cold in Vegas was Feb, 5, 2020. Also read that Henderson airport dipped down to 27. It’s no wonder I had such a hard time…
Family time occupying my morning means riding later than usual. I tried to get a GVC group ride going, but starting at noon is a little to late for most. So solo it was. Even though I was alone I had a really good time. Weather was absolutely beautiful and…
It’s been a super busy week limiting my commute days so boy did I need this ride. Feel so much better after hitting the road with good friends. Unfortunately, not much to report. Just a nice ride that was overall pretty chill. There were a couple stretches were the pace…

Another extended cycling break for Thanksgiving. Had a great time visiting family, but sorely missed riding. The end of the academic semester is my least favorite time of year. Have student evaluations to write and the Thanksgiving holiday really adds to the time crunch. Hopeful a ride into the office…
What a ride, what a first ‘organized’ event. I’ve been eyeing doing Planet Ultra‘s Death Valley Century for a while. Last year’s was cancelled for obvious reasons. This year there were some riders from GVC who’d talked about going depending on how the weather worked out. By Wednesday morning the…
When that sun dips down below the horizon boy does the mercury drop. Was pretty chilly until I started climbing on Pecos past Wigwam and then warmed up nicely. Nice way to wrap up the workday riding. Looking forward to the weekend. Mostly clear-Mostly cloudy, 65°F-61°F, Feels like 65°F-61°F, Humidity…
Chilly one this morning. Debated going with leg warmers and I’m glad I did. Hard to balance the cold mornings with warmer evenings. A swing of 20 degrees sucks from a planning perspective. Does make for a nice ride home though. Mostly sunny-Partly sunny, 46°F-49°F, Feels like 46°F-49°F, Humidity 33%-24%,…
New jersey worked a treat on the way home. This morning I’d thought it might be too warm for the evening ride, but it was just about perfect. It was on the warm side and I worked up some sweat, but it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.…
