car free day

for me? regular occasion, for the whole family? Not so regular.

But today, yes marked a good car free day. My better half actually met up with me on the trailer laden giant bike for the second half of the EBBP commuter.

Very cool.

Brought a boat load of fuel today. No left overs from dinner but there was a loaf of bread and some fresh ground peanut butter... I grabbed some yucky stuff free blue berry preserves and meant to grab the nutella out of the closet but... i forgot it. Poop. Ah well, blueberry is a close second to nutella to mix with peanut butter.

A handful of berry bars from Odwalla scored from the market at cutler mills (case discount is pretty good deal) should keep any repeat of the disabling hunger from yesterday.

I did score a couple of smarties from the candy bowl at my first stop on the way home. Two rolls of smarties and a couple swigs of waterbottle were enough to get me home. Made me wonder how much different smarties are than those enervit candy tabs ya see certain pros chomping on pre-race.

Dirt rag showed up today. And speaking of certain pros the Ahrens cross bike got a great review there in this issue.

And on the magazine, I read the final article (other than the core strength one - I have a hard time reading those type of 'here is what ya should do' articles) in CX Mag last night. And maybe after Dirt Rag is digested (almost there) I'll go back and try and read the core strength article.

ah well...

this has been sitting here long enough

but no problem writing them...

shoulda been more specific - figuring the referencing to a "core strength" type article would be enough of an antecedent to connote a specific type of "here is what ya should do" article...

ya know - you should do these stretches and these back lunges and these squats...

sort of the kind of articles that fill fluff magazines like Men's Health and Bicycling...

oh and...

a note to mr cynical bastard (ie solobreak) most of the 'here is what you should do' things are directed pretty much internally at myself...

but then you're prolly a bit too hung up on the southern drawl that creaps into my writing than actually realizing I'm writing to myself...

if i can't tell myself what to do...

but hey - at least you wrote a pretty good punch line - it made me laugh

:D

does this mean we can eat Pop-Tarts?

gewilli said...

you make your own choices... the rest of the world will just have to live with them won't they...

but sure - pop tarts are great...

assuming they are these

They were these. Another food industry cycling sponsor. I have trouble finding the unfrosted ones though.

And oh yeah, if you found a way to go to the Coyote Hill MTB race, you'd have to go right past the King Arthur store. That place is awesome.
