Meeting and Miles
Turns out today would have been a great day to be outside but I had already planned to ride inside and burned up the remainder of my legs on a “recovery ride”. Must go outside tomorrow. The ride – Zwift

Zwift cause it’s raining
I keep feeling like I’m getting old and slow. I’m putting my faith in Zwift to get faster this winter. This ride hurt so good. The rides – Zwift
Inadequate
Cold, snow, and a limited schedule equal another day on Zwift. I’ve been feeling especially weak lately. I kept telling myself that I was taking a “rest” day but every day can’t be a rest day. Today I was determined to hold onto my power no matter what comes. For the first half I managed to hold on and output the kinds of wattage I
It Snowed
I really wanted to get the fat bike out and head into the hills. However it snowed wit h the trees holding onto their leaves. The carnage was universal with broken branches covering roads and lawns and branches breaking in real time downing power lines with a bright lightning like flash lig ridehting the dark skies.

Weekend in Vegas
A long road trip, a weekend in Las Vegas, a Labor Day weekend junk food binge and late nights all make great preparation for intervals on Makuri Island. Sad that the air up here in the mountains is worse than the air in Las Vegas. The Ride – Zwift
The Great Indoors
Watching the weather I thought there would be a chance to ride in the great outdoors. With continued wildfires in the west it was not meant to be and I resigned myself to another 2 hours in the basement battling electrons on Zwift. Also Zwift taunts me. Never does it screenshot when I’m sprinting and cranking out power. It always waits for a moment of
Cheater Ride
Never have I ever … shuttled a mountain bike ride. At least not to get to the top just to let gravity do all the work. Tonight that changed. My son’s youth group wanted to ride Providence Canyon and so I agreed. Besides the air is toxic and I had already spent two hours on Zwift earlier in the day. this was also the shortest
