British cyclists—powered by coffee

How many of my readers were aware that cyclists like coffee? This is certainly news to me!

Plenty of us need it as a pick-me-up in the morning, but would you have had Britain’s finest track cyclists down as coffee addicts?

It turns out the GB team are every bit as keen on the bean [...]

2010 Ride #17 (Big Ass Brunch Ride)

View Ascent activity on 16-May-10 at 02:23PM in a larger map

Not a big ride, but a big ASS ride, because of how big I expect my ass to grow after this morning’s brunch with a number of various tweeps at Diva’s Cupcakes on 33rd South. Good food served buffet style with excellent pastries and [...]

High West Addendum

Seek and buy a bottle of High West Rendezvous Rye. Marvel at the concept of a whiskey distillery in Utah. Open the bottle and allow the bouquet to waft over you. Pour a couple fingers into the lowball or whiskey snifter of your choice. Swirl, sniff, sip and savor. Sit back. Relax. Marvel at the [...]

Hie thee to High West!

If you live in Utah, and have yet to visit High West Distillery and Saloon in Park City, then hie your ass there ASAP for food and drink.

I first heard about High West in late 2008 when I saw a bottle of their Rendezvous Rye whiskey at the State Liquor Store … a couple [...]

WooHOO!

Never again will I pour out a bottle of bad wine!

The Perfect Espresso Shot

I hate my espresso machine. For the past year-plus, I’ve been using a Krups XP4030 pump espresso machine, which is perfectly fine for occasional use (like Sunday morning lattes to be sipped whilst reading the New York Times), but really doesn’t hold up to daily use. After 10 months of daily [...]

Overindulgence

I definitely overindulged in pretty much everything except riding this weekend; especially meat and heat.

From Nancy’s 4th of July BBQ on, well … the 4th, to The Reverend‘s “America, Fuck Yeah” BBQ on Saturday night. Brats, burgers, chicken and beef skewers. Jennie’s lemon tart cookie things. Beer. Vodka. Couch-time watching the Tour.
