Had a great ride this morning. At points felt a little breezier than others, but nothing like what I’ve dealt with the past two rides. Weather was great, just about perfect. Felt nearly exhausted once I was done. Took everything I had left to get upstairs and into the shower.…

After my failed attempt at this route two days ago I was looking forward to today’s ride. Got moving early to avoid the worst of the heat and wind. At times the winds certainly felt stronger than 8 MPH, but overall the ride went well. Was fully prepared this time…

Last Sunday I was performing some maintenance and adjustments on my bike before going for a ride and fell. I went down to the end of the street, started turning around, and my rear tire slid out from under me. This caused me to slam down on my left side…

Similarly to Tuesday I wanted to get in some miles before the hottest part of the day. Also weatherman was reporting breezy to windy conditions later this afternoon. While I certainly beat the heat not so much the wind. The wind was straight on into my face for the entire…

Local news has been talking up the Excessive Heat Warning we’re under for the past week. Decided to get up and get in the saddle early before the worst of the heat set in. Thankfully the heat held off and my legs held up and got me home before it…

I’m trying to get into a riding routine but the weather refuses to cooperate. I wanted to ride yesterday but 20-25 MPH winds put a damper on that idea. Then today I got focused on some office work and almost skipped this ride. I’m glad that I forced myself to…

Absolutely gorgeous day for a ride. Skies were clear and temps were perfect. Gotta get in the miles before riding becomes a strictly night time endeavor. Similar ride to Sunday I just added on a detour over to the District at Green Valley to bump the overall miles up over…

Great little ride. St Rose was a bear today with the 7 MPH headwind. Otherwise felt great afterwards. Did the full Democracy Demon for the second time and really poured it on this time. Got a great shot from the top showing the Strip view. It doesn’t count if you…

Originally wanted to do this yesterday, but I had a work meeting scheduled for 3:00 and I didn’t want to be late or rush back. Ride went really well and felt really good until around mile 30 ‘ish when I started aching all over. Starting to feel like my current…
