The Waterbottle Shuffle

A valuable skill for any cyclist training in sub-freezing temperatures. You roll out of your driveway for a 5 hour ride with 3 waterbottles. 2 are in your cages and 1 takes the seat of honor: In the back pocket closest to your body. It's covered by at least one layer and steals some of your precious body heat to maintain its liquid form. 30 minutes into your ride you notice the bottles in your cages are begining to take solid form. At this point you must begin the waterbottle shuffle. Switch a bottle from the cage with the one in your pocket. Isn't that comfortable? That chuck of ice on your back... stealing your body heat? Continue switching and swaping frequently for best results. The longer you wait, the more uncomfortable that next bottle on your back will be so keep practicing the waterbottle shuffle and stay hydrated.

Oh, my lactic test was "very good man." Right on track and ahead of schedule.

Tag, I'm it?

So my bro from Boulder, Allen Krughoff, sent me a message saying that I've been tagged, which means that I'm supposed to list 5 things you may not know about me and then tag 5 other people. I usaully don't participate in these kind of chain mail experiments but hey... it's an easy blog. So:
1. I hate chain letters
2. I got involved in cycling because of the Make-A-Wish Foundation
3. I dropped out of U of M with a 3.8 GPA (I do plan on attaining a degree before I die)
4. I can pour the best latte this side of the Mississippi
5. I only have 5 friends and they have been tagged, so I guess the chain ends here unless...

The first 5 people with blogs who read this are tagged. Please leave a comment stating so.
