Super Straws

This Cheese Straw recipe, from Smitten Kitchen, is amazing. Basically, these are sticks of cheese and butter, with just the right amount of peppery kick.  I made the mistake of making only one b...

Ride and Shine

Im going to go ahead and say that a 10am group ride on a Sunday constitutes an early wake-up call. Especially when you had a wild Saturday night. Granted, my wild Saturday involved watching too much ...

Hot Pants

Underneath these classy pants, I am sporting some hot bike shorts. And nothing else. But this is a PG blog, unlike the episode of True Blood that I am watching as I write this, so pretend you didnt r...

The Big Float

In Portland, our river is a little gross. Im fairly certain that I have seen fish with 5 eyes and two tails. Maybe because I have told everyone and their mother about these creatures, people around h...

Put Me in Coach

Its painfully obvious that what little photo skills I had acquired during my bouts with the 30 for 30 are gone. I guess thats what happens when you spend a week sitting on your butt in paja...
