Zwift before the storm
Time was not my friend today so between weather and meetings I found myself missing the mountains and building base miles for a better day. The rides – Zwift

Bad Air, Pretty Falls Colors, I rode Zwift, Not Happy
Never take clean air for granted. On this beautiful Autumn day when the canyons are lit up with color I find myself riding Zwift because the air is once again a miserable haze. I’m not happy. The Rides – Zwift
Digging deep. Finding Nothing
Dig deep they say. Push harder they say. Ever have a day when no matter what your brain says your legs act like your teenager when you ask them to wash the dishes? No amount of coaxing or pushing could get my legs to go any harder or faster this morning. I think my body doth protest against the continuing riding on the trainer. The
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
Bad air so it’s a Zwift day
With wildfires burning out of control in California the air in the Western United States smells and tastes like a campfire. I’m getting old so I try to take it easy on my lungs these days which meant another day on the Trainer riding Zwift. The Makuri Islands look so pretty. I also tried a VO2 over under ride which I totally failed at. Sometimes
More Bad Air. Zwift Here I Come
All week I had been hoping the rain would clear out the smoke, but alas the PM 2.5 is still at the level where I may as well smoke cigars as ride a bike outside. I don’t smoke so Zwift I guess we are best friends this week. The rides – Zwift
Another Zwift day on the Makuri Islands
Another day of rain and smoke which seems impossible but I guess is not. We’ve gone from 90 degree days to 50 degree days and so much rain. It’s OK. I like the rain and I’m looking forward to the moment a few days from now when the trails have had a chance to dry from mud into pay dirt. In the mean time I’ll
Another Sad Day on Zwift
Another day of smoke today with added rain. Zwift is better than nothing and it makes riding inside tolerable but I really should be in the dirt. The ride – Zwift
I guess I’ll take Zwift over lung cancer
The world is on fire again and the air is so bad you can taste it. The moon last night was red and barely visible. Today the mountains across the valley are invisible, cloaked by thick haze from thousands of trees suffering an untimely, fiery death. With the PM 2.5 off the charts I spent my summer morning in the virtual world of Zwift. The
