My favorite cereals are produced right here in Michigan. That’s great! I love buying foods that support the local economy – from the town level to the state level. Heck, I even prefer Wisconsin cheese over California cheese because Wisconsin, well, it is pretty local.
I don’t eat a lot of cereal, but [...]

In my former life, I was an aspiring runner. I did quite a few races, including two marathons, but the habit never took hold. I simply did not have a lot of fun. I did, however, really enjoy reading Runner’s World. The magazine was full of great information, including excellent nutritional [...]

I am somewhat intrigued by the fact that I’ve taken some hard falls – swan dives, superman dives, endoes from hell – and walked away like it was nothing. Sure, my muscles, skin, and blood vessels have been abused from strains, scrapes, cuts, and bruises, but my bones have been just fine. I [...]

Well, I certainly did not stay within my POINTS range, today. Before dinner, I’ve consumed 41 POINTS. That works out to about 2,050 calories. I knew what I was getting into with the milkshake. That was planned. I feel like crap. I feel tired and my throat hurts. [...]

Being a person who has a difficult time consistently taking antibiotics for ten days, or regularly consuming a multivitamin, I found the daily doses of steroids to be just one more [...]

Even though I live in a cycling community where mountain biking is as natural as going to the bar – no, really, going to the bar is just the Yooper* thing to do – my metamorphosis from a runner into a cyclist was quite easy because there is so much that runners and cyclists have [...]

This past cyclocross season, I received a sample packet of Hammer Nutrition’s Perpetuem. Perpetuem is a drink mix intended for endurance rides. I finally decided to use this sample during yesterday’s four hour ride.
I ran out of Perpetuem before the end of my ride, and started slowing down before I got [...]

As mountain bikers, it is imperative that we eat. Well, it’s imperative that anyone eat, but we need more energy than some, or many.
Pat arranged a Copper Harbor Fat Tire pre-ride for this morning. I started the day off right by making some buckwheat pancakes topped with raspberries picked in my yard and [...]

No one gave their opinion on yesterday’s post, so I will present my opinion Wednesday. That gives all four of my readers the great opportunity to voice their opinion about the Shootout. Just kidding. I have more than four readers.
I haven’t ridden since I last rode. I can’t remember [...]

A couple of men have argued with me that added iron is quite unhealthy for my diet. “Iron is something we don’t need an excess of.” That’s fine and dandy, but as a menstruating female who has felt the effects of anemia, iron is Heaven on Earth. It is no wonder that [...]
