i'm like a Phoenix. Rising, from Arizona.

Today is Monday April 14 2025 and this past weekend i rode my bike on Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday i did a windy cyclocross bike ride which i can barely remember.

On Sunday i did a windy road bike ride which i can mostly remember.

The Saturday ride was somewhat last minute so i rode for about 1.5 hours in the afternoon.

The Sunday ride was more planned and longer. The ride window pretty much closed at 9:30 am so i was on my bike around 6am and rode for almost 3 hours. It was pretty awesome but also pretty windy and pretty hard and my a*s and legs hurt pretty bad by the end. 

That road bike is harder to pedal than i thought. It doesn't have those easy to spin mountain bike gears, which i got use to. Although a lot of my struggles this weekend was due to the wind, and my weakling legs.

But i powered thru it.

*Editors note - if you look closely at the below garmin cycling computer pic you'll see the time of day reads 7:56 so you may be wondering how one can ride almost 3 hours when you start at 6 and finish at 7.56. The answer is that my garmin cycling computer time didn't update for daylight savings time.
