How much do you want to bet they don't get ridden 100 miles?

HER has a regular bike already. She just doesn't like to pedal, and always steals other kid's strider bikes. So now she gets her own, for the sake of all the other kids in the neighborhood.

Wrinkles make me cringe. When someone shows up at a TT with a wrinkle, I know they are not taking things seriously.


Ditto for a watch.


Or a bottle cage.

These Garmin rubber band mounts are awesome - you can put them anywhere. Say, anyone know how to enter stroller stats in to Strava?

Repaving season is in full gear. The grooving machine hit another road I frequent and I saw them grooving yet another one earlier today. It's gobbling up pavement like Addictionites loading down at the buffet line.

Losing a little weight + riding a lot recently + fantastic weather = a ride where you just can't stop smiling and feel like you're dancing on the pedals. Good times.

Evening used to be prime time in this thread; now the post count plummets once the early bird specials start.

Well you taste what you taste, but perhaps I am right after all. It just could be that what you rely on for the taste you expect are the insoluble particles that the filter takes out. That is likely in the case of stovetop espresso made with ultra-finely ground coffee and not forced through a metal filter. That would explain it. It would be interesting to filter two portions of your usual brew through paper and metal. If they taste the same, then it is the loss of the fine particles you are noticing, not absorption of flavor by the paper.

Don't get me wrong; a paper filter can hold onto some soluble flavor species, but if you put 8 cups of coffee through a small filter, the capacity of the paper to hold back the flavor species will be quickly saturated. Only a small fraction of the flavor could be lost.

Seems things get busiest here during weekday work hours, meaning many of us are just wasting time at the office. Once I'm home it's riding/cooking/dog walking/quality time with wifey.

Poor effort, I have to say.

Nice. There's a garden center nearby that has similarly nice surroundings for their cafe. Only so-so on the coffee, though, and I've usually had my morning dose by the time we get there.
