Comments: Club ride to Blue Diamond. I did better than I thought I would after ten days off.
The bike felt easier to push and seamed to roll easier. Maybe due to the inner tube I found stuck to the tire. I replaced the tube and put a lot of talc into the tire. |
| Weather Conditions: Cold and windy. I thought I could go bare legs, but there were places where I was COLD. |

| Comments: Weird ride to Boulder City. Shifter battery went out and took longer than it should have to change. Must have pushed wrong button on Garmin and had to save ride and start new. I didn't clip in fully so foot slipped and banged shin into handlebar. Got a flat climbing Georgia street. took two tries and two tubes to fix it. Then banged my shin a second time. Glad this ride is over. |
| Weather Conditions: No wind to start, but it did come up a bit on the way back. Mayby 8 to 10 mph. Start at 48°

| Comments: Club ride through Red Rock Canyon. I seemed to be riding faster than usual, but so did the others. I fell behind on some of the hills, but caught up on the descents. I coasted a lot and parts of the ride I even braked to avoid hitting the others. I tried to stay with them on a later hill and hut my left quad. I think it will be ok in a few days. |
| Weather Conditions: Warm. Start at 69° with low winds. Winds came up later, but not very strong. |

| Comments: Started to Mountain's Edge, but the winds were brutal. I cut it short. This was a test ride as I adjusted my leg reach. I am getting shorter as I age and needed the adjustment. It felt too close at first, but I think i need time to adjust myself. |
| Weather Conditions: Winds started very light, but when I got past the South Point Casino it was over 20 mph. Good temp, though/\. |

Comments: Club ride Split Ends with about 20 riders.
Moderate effort for most. Others had more trouble against the wind. Did a few sprints. coasted downhill with the wind at 33 mph.
Legs a little sore where legs join hips. I think due to new length adjustment. |
| Weather Conditions: Windy! and cold. Had to bring out winter clothing again. |

| Weather Conditions: Strong headwinds to start. It was forecast at 5 mph, but felt like 15. Later the winds died. Cool, but warmer than yesterday. |

Comments: Split Ends solo. HR was way high today. I am hoping it is a glitch. I did wash the belt yesterday, so maybe it wasn't dry? I felt fine and I wasn't pushing it. I will keep an eye on it.
This was to be a recovery ride, so it was casual most of the way. I feel good. |

Comments: Club ride to Lake Las Vegas. New HR meter, but still using old strap gave intermittent readings as the old one did. I will try the new strap.
I climbed the steep hill at Lake Las Vegas today. Legs did OK, but I couldn't get enough air. I was huffing and puffing through open mouth. I need to do it more.
Mostly casual for the rest of the ride. |

| Comments: Solo to Red Rock Canyon. Standard effort on the way uphill, but decided to do less coasting on the way back. I also had a young asian challenger on the downhill. He was beating me, but finally broke off. Probably out of respect for an old man.
One of my shifter batteries came off somewhere. Good that I carry a spare. |
