Remember the Lipton Brisk Ice Tea commercials from back in 2009 with the puppets in black and white? Remember the one with ‘Rocky’ in it? “Yo, that’s brisk baby!”? Yeah that pretty much sums up this morning. And if you don’t remember…here it is: Sunny, 34°F, Feels like 34°F, Humidity…

10-15 MPH tailwind all the way home? Yes please! Really made for an enjoyable ride home. Also ended up besting my previous best by 17 seconds set back in October. Hard to be fast when you have a winter jacket on and wide open to try to keep cool Clear,…
Chilly and brisk morning for a ride. Knowing stronger winds are forecast for this evening I rode in anyway. Those evening winds will be out of the NNE which should give me a nice push home. Keeping my fingers crossed. The worst part of the wind this morning was the…
Another nice evening ride home. Got home and was busy with household things. Then sat down to watch the UNLV basketball game with the kiddo. Long way of saying I didn’t get time to hop online and update the details on this ride other than the title, bike, and tagging…

Definitely a cool one on the ride home. Pretty much wore exactly what I wore in this morning just to be certain I wouldn’t get cold. I did try to leave without my heavier jacket on, but I didn’t make it out of the parking lot before reconsidering. Ride home…
Pretty chilly one to start the week. Thankfully all my gear really came through and I was able to stay warm for most of the ride. Did have to make a quick stop to put on my arm warmers. I’d left the house hoping I wouldn’t need them, but the…
I kept hemming and hawing about going for a ride, and finally forced myself out the door. As usual, after the fact, I’m happy I did. Really pushed on the first three climbs out of the house and that set the tone for the remainder of the ride. At the…
I knew last night I wanted to get in an easy recovery ride to follow up the solid workout. Thankfully, the kiddo wanted to put in some hours at the ranch. This morning I got all dressed and loaded up my riding gear. I dropped the kiddo off and drove…
