Egg-topia…
In my last post, you saw my first attempt at the:
“Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge.”
I look at it as an unsuccesful attempt rather than a failed attempt because the eggs I was supposed to pick up and get home uncracked were sold out. As you may remember, Tom, my challenger and cycling friend in [...]
Shell Shocked!
A few posts back, I mentioned “Fresh Organic Eggs” being sold on one of the routes I ride often. Well, I had mentioned it would be a good challenge for me to sometime try to make it home with a dozen… UNCRACKED!
It just so happens that a new cycling blogger buddy in England, “Easy Tom” rides past a farm that offers up eggs [...]
Preparing for the “Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge”
You may have read my posts at the beginning of the week about the “Fresh Organic Eggs” Stand I pass on one of my routes. Well, I had mentioned it would be a good challenge for me to sometime try to make it home with a dozen… UNCRACKED!
ENTER: The worldwide web, another cycling enthusiast and the fact that there are [...]
Another View From My Egg-cellent Ride…
In my last post, I showed you a sign I pass on one of my routes. It reads… ‘Fresh Organic Eggs.’ A friend was asking me where were the eggs? What do you mean in a house/hut? Well, I realized you can see it (the little house) in this other picture I took.
It’s the county line… I’m standing [...]
An Egg-cellent Ride…
I know… with all that cheese… I should make an omelette. I just couldn’t resist. It was a beautiful weekend here in Central North Carolina. I got out for rides on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Both days were sunny and the temp in the 60’s. I pedal past this sign frequently on one of my favorite routes. [...]
Time To Just Enjoy The Bike…
I’m back from my last Mountain Century of the season, Bridge to Bridge. Sorry for the delay on the post, but I took a day off from work and I had to conjure up the energy to spend more time on the computer. Don’t get me wrong, I dig reading your blogs and sharing with [...]
Last Mountain Century Of The Season…
This Sunday, I’m pedaling in the Bridge to Bridge Mountain Century.
It starts in Lenoir and has always ended at the top of Grandfather Mountain. But because of construction at the top of the mountain (right)… it will end just before that final climb. It takes away what’s been a grand finish for 19 years… with a [...]
Those Are The Hills We’re Climbing…
Sunday’s ride was needed time in the saddle! I went out with a couple of NC State’s Cycling Team members, Will and Hannah. My usual riding buddy, another NC State Cycling Team member, was unable to join us because he was suffering with a pretty nasty cold (hope you’re feeling better Brian). Will and Hannah were planning for a long ride [...]
Delicious Post-Ride Recovery Snack…
Now for a tasty snack (dessert) (breakfast)… whatever you want to call it.
I promised Sprocketboy I would get this recipe to him and it’s about time. On that recent cycling adventure to West Virginia where I was introduced to the new high-carb recovery beverage I talked about in my previous post, I took along a [...]
Post-ride Recovery Beverage(s)…
At a recent cycling event, a good friend (”good” especially because of his delivery efforts spanned hundreds of miles) introduced me to a new variety when it comes to post-ride recovery beverages. Many months ago, I wrote about my favorite post-ride recovery drink, chocolate milk, and its physiological benefits.
But this post involves another selection [...]
