Beta-carotene seems to be a big thing nowadays. Eat orange/red fruits and vegetables! So here I am, making up another new recipe. All of a sudden, I was tired of Hoppin\’ John variations. It occurred to me that I hadn\’t been eating much in the way of vegetables, aside from raw carrots. My mind drifted
\”Compulsive\” doesn\’t always conjure up the most positive images. Compulsive eating disorder. OCD. Even compulsive training in athletes, including cyclists. I seem to be turning into a compulsive cook. I think up variations on Hoppin\’ John, and I\’ve just got to make them as soon as possible. Since trying out the original recipe in early

Trenching came to my attention just last Wednesday. Most cycling enthusiasts have heard of Everesting by now, I suppose. Now, along comes its inverse: Trenching! Both of them strike me as a Mont Blanc kind of thing: Because It\’s There! The term \”trenching\” is, at least in this case, quite the paradox. It wasn\’t a
It seems that we\’re thick as thieves with our bicycles, doesn\’t it? Especially when you enjoy putting in those miles, and lots of them. That\’s fine, but we don\’t want out precious \”rides\” getting thick as thieves with bicycle stealers. How do we guard against such illicit relationships? If possible, keep your bicycles indoors when
\”Fifty-four forty or fight!\” was a campaign slogan some two centuries ago. \”Forty or fight\” might describe my ride this morning: do 40 miles, or fight to keep going for a lesser distance. Today, fortunately, I didn\’t have to fight much. When I started out at 6:30 am, there was almost no wind. After having
