Bikes: 1997 Schwinn Moab2 cross-country racing, highly modified, rebuilt many, many times. very fast!

I thought Carribou Coffee was better than Starbucks, but I like Dunn Bros. roasted in their San Franciscan roasters. And I won't even quote how much their "made in Italy" espresso machine cost, but the truth about caffeine and biking is: Caffeine in anhydrous form works better, but if you were biking for competition or even just to ride harder than your last ride, coffee is a poor nutritional supliment to consume while bicycling. It's actually a diuretic, which is the oposite of hydration. Coffee is a gourmet food and caffeine is way better than alcoholic beverages, but for biking it would be better to restore glycogen. Get out the sugar!
