The Best Thing Ever?

The Best Thing Ever?

I recently had a conversation (with someone else – not just speaking to myself here) regarding how much of a travesty it is that sugar and fat make food taste much more delicious. Ice cream is perhaps the best example of this. Chocolate runs a close second. I even recall being shocked and saddened as [...]

Getting Baked

These last couple weeks in Bend have been HOT.  With the temperatures regularly reaching into the upper 30’s (Celsius) and nary a cloud in the sky, everyone has been fighting the heat in their own way.  From soaking in the river, to ice-baths, and everything else imaginable, the hottest summer weeks have been filled with [...]

Beer Pancakes?

Beer Pancakes?

I will try almost anything once… so maybe I need to give this a shot. I bet it tastes funny, but maybe if you used like a sweet flavored wheat beer?? Go to the Source – sonyalooney.missingsaddle.com

Tour Aftertaste

Tour Aftertaste

I have been sitting on this post for awhile.  Waiting to post it for a few days, struggling with finding a clear message in all of it.  It started it after watching the Ventoux stage and talking about the weird tactics but was really spurred by reading an article in the Wall Street Journal.  I [...]

Roll Call!

Roll Call!

In the void of podcasting, I was being a little sentimental today thinking about all the emails & stories we’ve received the past few years.  Here’s a list of the names or subjects we’ve talked about: the quiz lives, the death of the quiz, Recumbo-Joe,  Outer Bongolia, Canadian Rasta, Nice Cop, Rickshaw, Rasta SWAT, Italian [...]

Tut, tut, it looks like rain!

Tut, tut, it looks like rain!

Well, it looked like rain this morning. I headed out to do my usual mellow mountain bike ride. I added a few hard efforts up a hill today, but that’s about it. The legs are still feeling a bit icky, but there’s nothing to do but hope they come around by Saturday! Quick video. The [...]

Great build up

Great build up

I hit out to get some great race training over the past few weeks and that I did.  I was able to race 6 days out of 8 days in a row or 9 out of a 15 day period.  If you ask me this was WAY better than getting the mud but in China [...]
