| Comments: Club ride to Boulder City. I was so out of shape, but others were too. I didn't go fast, but I got some miles. |
| Weather Conditions: Cool start at 41° with light winds. Starting with the club was downhill, so just coasting was very cold. Warmed a bit when climbing, then coming back was a bit windy and cold. Only used two layers. |

| Comments: Club ride to Pedal N Pour. I was struggling for a lot of the way. I was still keeping with the group. but it was an effort. About six miles from home I felt like I was about to bonk even though I had taken an energy gel and some electrolyte chews. I stopped at a quick mart for a candy bar. I think that helped. I''m still running on empty. Looks like I made a mistake on my Garmin and lost the first five miles of the ride. So my stats may be off slightly. |
| Weather Conditions: Cold start at 35° with light winds. First time this season for balaclava and outer jacket. |

Comments: I did part of Split ends, but had a mechanical and cut it short. My pedal came off it's spindle. I was able to find the bolt and put it together enough to get me home.
Again I messed up my Garmin so stats are slightly off. I logged another three miles after my incident. |
| Weather Conditions: Cold! I was testing a face mask, but ended not liking it.

| Comments: Solo Split Ends. New experience with my heart rate. After warming through several miles I took off my wind breaker. Later I noticed my HR going very high: 182. Lately my high has been 172. As I climbed my HR went to 191. I thought something was wrong with my Garmin. I later put my jacket back on and my HR went to my usual ride level. I felt fine the whole time. Seem like I should have had palpitations or something. |

Comments: Solo Split Ends route. Weird stuff today. Ignored a foot of frayed wire cable on the road, then when I decided to pick it up, it was gone. a few miles further I saw it again and disposed of it. It must have been picked up by a car. I saw a truck dragging something. Looked like straps got trapped in the side door. Cars ran stoplights and went straight from the turn lane. one car did a U-turn and nearly hit me.
Otherwise, I had a good workout. |
| Weather Conditions: Start at 51° with moderate winds. Winds got stronger especially in the open desert. Due to the wind I coasted on Pecos at 31 mph. |

Comments: To Mountain's Edge Park again. I felt stronger today, maybe due to higher temps. I kept a steady pressure against my backrest. Also tried to use my glutes as much as possible. I noticed a slight soreness in them when I started.
HR stats are off. It cut out several times after my reststop. |
| Weather Conditions: Started at 49° with light winds. There was some wind when I started back, but not much. |

| Comments: Club ride to Goodsprings. Some were going on to Sandy Valley, but not me. This was a tough ride with steep hills and lots of wind. I really had to dig in deep to climb one of the hills. |
| Weather Conditions: Overcast to start. 54° to start with little wind. Winds came up later at at least 18 mph. coming downhill with the crosswinds the wind pulled my breath from my nostrils. Then had to fight the headwinds most of the way home. |

Comments: Solo to Boulder City. Stopped at club starting point to say hi. They were doing a different route, but I passed their starting point on my way.
I had a flat. Fixed it, but the valve extender didn't seat fully so the tire bulged there. I had to redo it. Took a long time.
I feel wiped out. I tried to go easy, but some places I had to push. |
| Weather Conditions: Cool start at 50° with light winds. I got some winds after Railroad Pass, but not too strong. |

Comments: HR not accurate. It cut out for half the ride.
i went to Jean solo. I had an issue with my inner tube or tire not seating correctly as it bumped once each revolution. I came home and changed valve stem extender. I went back out for test ride and kept going.
i didn't want to push it today, but I was so slow I thought my wheels were ribbing the frame. |
| Weather Conditions: Start at 55° with light winds. I had to fight winds going out, then had them with me for a little while coming back. Then they reversed. |
