Amazon Fresh Colombia Coffee is medium roast, pre-ground Arabica coffee beans. The cycling world has quite a reputation for drinking coffee; but I\’m not qualified to comment. I like the smell of brewing coffee; and I like to smell roasting coffee beans; but I don\’t like the taste of the beverage! Also available in whole-bean, […]

I’m always switching tactics. It might be what I do on the bike to try to get stronger and faster; or it might be what I eat on the bike during long rides. Take the ride food. I like FitCrunch and Gatorade Whey Protein bars; but in hot weather, the coating on those bars gets
It\’s not only Princess Aurora who had trouble with a spindle. We know the story. The Princess gets stuck by a spindle; and falls asleep for 100 years. Then her true love finds her and kisses her; and Aurora wakes up. Then she and the Prince get married; and (join the chorus, please) they live

Sometimes I feel like the Irish Washerwoman, even though I\’m not Irish; and I certainly don\’t dance while I\’m doing the laundry! My coordination isn\’t up to that task. I wash my cycling shorts by hand; sometimes jerseys, too. I don\’t have enough pairs of shorts to not wash them every day; and when I

The rain missed me! As usual, the forecast included showers and scattered T-storms. I always have to hope that \”scattered\” T-storms are far enough apart for me to ride between them. The highest chances for stormy weather were after 1:00 pm; and between that prediction and the hot weather, I started my ride at about
That\’s a funny-looking monkey wrench. But yesterday morning, a monkey wrench is exactly what a freight train was. When I set out to ride, I couldn’t access the bike path because a train was sitting there. The nearest other street that leads to the bike path is in a major mess, thanks to road work.
Alter Eco Chocolate bars are great for the environmentally-minded chocoholic. This variety pack contains 10 bars of dark chocolate flavors, such as Quinoa Crunch and Burnt Caramel. They all sound scrumptious to me; and I\’d be more eager to try them if I didn\’t have to watch the carbs! Chocolate and caramel is an old
