Sometimes a thing is just no go; and I don\’t mean only stop signs. I\’m always on the lookout for new things to use as ride food. I like to try them away from the bike before taking them along on a long ride; and not everything I try seems suitable. This bar, for example.
We\’ve had a big change in our weather. For weeks there was the constant threat of rain and T-storms; but now we have heat advisories every day!

Sometimes I feel like Jenny in the song: get your cookin\’ done! I sure had a lot of it to do today! I had used up the stuff in the freezer, and needed to make more. My diet has been off the rails for several weeks; and it\’s time to get it back on track.
