The latest additions to my web site\’s Shop are: four flavors of RXBar!

In Whole Foods this morning, I checked out the sports bars section, as usual. I was delighted to see RXBar Maple Sea Salt, because I love maple; and I got some of the bars to use as ride food during Tour de Cure tomorrow.

I must admit, putting these latest additions into the store was rather time-consuming. It\’s also not the easiest thing on my eyes; but I\’m trying to share info and ideas with other riders.

I wanted to get tofu; but the store was out of it. I brought home tempeh to try, instead. Tempeh seems strange to me. It\’s like tofu in having little flavor; but the texture is much denser. In fact, it took quite a bit of chewing. I guess tempeh would be better in stir-fry than tofu; it won\’t fall apart as easily.

Today I hitched the trailer to the hybrid for the trip to the store, so I could bring home an economy-sized jug of laundry detergent. I noticed that the bike seemed very hard to pedal. Was the trailer adding that much drag?

After I got back home, I discovered that the brake pad is dragging on both tire and wheel rim. I just got that fixed! Does carrying loads have something to do with it? That bicycle isn\’t wearing out, is it?

Back to the bike shop. Maybe I\’ll wait to take it in until tomorrow afternoon. TdC is tomorrow; and I need to rest up for it.

Meanwhile, it\’s time I had some lunch. My stomach is growling, and I need to be well-nourished as well as well-rested for tomorrow\’s big ride!
