I think I’ve just about had my fill of the wind. One thing that sucks about living in the highlands is riding home at the end of the day. Makes for a MUCH longer and more difficult ride. That’s compounded by the fact that I’m lugging stuff like work clothes,…

Have been looking forward to this ride since hearing that cooler weather would be blowing in last week. I had originally planned on riding in to work yesterday, but the idea of riding in 20-40 MPH winds changed my mind at the last minute. After driving to work I’m glad…
Can It You Nit! (Ride there) Even after my great ride yesterday morning I wanted to put in some more miles today. With another heat warming in the area, riding requires morning rides, but my daughter has riding lessons I don’t want to miss. So loaded up early and headed…
Well that was an early start, but boy was it worth it. Temps are supposed to be near record highs this weekend so no better time than before the sun rises to put in the miles. Also have a busy three day weekend trying to balance the daughter’s riding lessons.…
Failure is always an option (Ride there) Not this morning it wasn’t. My daughter gets into the saddle twice on the weekend. Her’s isn’t for two wheels but four legs. Usually, I get up early on Saturday to put in some miles before heading out to my daughter’s lessons. Having…
Realizing that this weekend is going to be especially busy I thought I’d take the time to take in a night ride. When it comes to a night ride I prefer to stick to local trails versus open streets. I just don’t trust the drivers around here. Doesn’t matter how…
Had to get up early to get my first miles in on the new wheels. I haven’t been on a significant ride in 16 days, and have been patiently waiting to try my new ride for six weeks. I’ve been waiting because I wanted to get the new bike 100%…
My wife will tell you I wasn’t a happy camper yesterday afternoon. As I mentioned yesterday, my new road bike was not living up to my expectations. So I spent hours working and tweaking it yesterday in an attempt to get it better and it just wasn’t happening. Combined with…
Finally got a mount for the front light on my new bike and just had to take it for a quick rip. I wanted to have everything on it 100% together before taking it out and today it’s finally done. Unfortunately, I’m still waiting on a final fitting and I…
Ouch. Can’t believe it too me nearly 2 hours to get home, almost double my time to get to work. Then again it was uphill the entire way home, into a head wind, after not riding for almost a month. Am I tired? Absolutely. Am I sick, bonk exhausted? Thankfully…
