*Update - I recently tried Muir's cashew vanilla flavor which tasted incredible! No rush of energy, but again, it's labeled as a slow burner. It helped keep me going on my long run. Muir announced September 9th that they are discontinuing the sweet potato and oregano flavor, so apparently I'm not the only one who... Continue Reading →

For me, it's usually on the trails. I've taken to using Siri to dictate random thoughts that occur to me as... Continue Reading →
I have lost count of the many close calls I've had with vehicles while riding my road bike. On a 30+ mile excursion just this morning, my fellow riders and I were subjected to shouted curses, near-misses as cars passed illegally, and aggressive tailgating. Some would say that's reason enough to stop riding, but the... Continue Reading →
