Got a late start to this absolutely beautiful day for a ride. Still happy to report that I made myself hit the trail and put in some decent segments to boot. Hoping to get out tomorrow before the winds kick up and make riding a nightmare.

After watching UNLV’s mens basketball team give it their all against San Diego State University I made some time for a quick ride. Looking at the stats I’m surprised to see how fast I was considering I’d done a ride the day before. Maybe more performance out of the bike…
I’m usually not one to shill for one company or another but McGhie’s in Henderson did an amazing job with my bike. I mentioned that I dumped it last weekend trying to avoid smashing into a kid walking along the Union Pacific Railroad Trail. My rear derailleur started acting up…
Three rides in three days!? What in the world? Had Monday off so decided to put the free time to good use and put in a few more miles. I must be doing something right because I weighed in this morning and I’m down to 218.3. This is the lightest…
Almost killed a kid tonight. Not really, but it was a close call. Was getting ready to fly across Paradise Hills Drive and didn’t see the family coming my direction. I came around the left and the youngest was right in front of me. It was getting late, around dusk,…

Yesterday I’d talked about adding a little spur to stretch out yesterday’s ride and I decided to go for it today. Basically this is a culmination of my past routes with new spurs to give it length. Reconfigured my bike computer to show my heart rate and kept targeting 160-162…
Was looking to stretch my ride out to 40 miles and was successful. Added a couple extra loops to make it the 40. There is one more spur that I could add to stretch this just a smidge more. Might look at doing that next week, this one took a…
Think this is my new go to route. Need to tweak it just a little bit to get over the 40 mile mark. For one reason or another didn’t quite go as hard as yesterday and my heart rate wasn’t in zone 4 as much either. Oh well still burned…
Wanted to mix it up a little today and do something a little different. I started near Warm Springs and the 215 in order to catch the beginning of the 215 Beltway Trail. Stuck with the 215 Beltway Trail all the way around to hook into the Union Pacific Railroad…
