Here for the cookies, cats, and bikes.
Food! It’s tasty and gives us energy to move our bodies, allows us to explore into the depths of the forest and reach mountain tops. The curious question tho, what should we eat while we’re out on our adventures? What should we eat when we’re doing that really hard workout? What should I eat after I ride? How do I fuel so I can wake up tomorrow and do it again?
With temperatures increasing, the day light longer, we’re seeing more and more longer days on the bike. Longer days requires more supplies and a better preparedness if something goes wrong.
There’s no denying I love riding my bike, and having a plethora and variety of bikes to choose from, I can take my adventure in any direction (except west) I want. Feeling up for a road adventure? Sure! Gravel, mountain bike? Anything I want I can do and I’m lucky to live in an area that allows me to do such things straight from my doorstep.
Leave the intervals, the watches, and all sense of urgency at home and enter island time.
I’ve lived in the Western part of Washington State all my life and I have never taken the time to explore MANY parts of the state I call home, but when I tell people I’ve never explored the San Juan Islands, I usually get a funny face. The ferry terminal to the Island’s is an easy hour drive from my house. Taking the island in by bike, we parked the car, loaded up some additional belongings onto the bikes (like a change of clothes, swim suit, and beach towel) and pedaled our way to the boarding area.
