It’s a clean machine. There are some scratches on the frame and fork, but no dents or major dings. I bought the bike new from the local shop about 10 months ago. I ride once or twice a week all year.

The only reason I’m selling this one is to buy a 2010 model.

Cold Brewed Coffee. The Toddy Cafe!

In the hot summer months do you swing by starbucks everyday to buy one of those yummy frappuccinos or iced lattes?

If you do, that $$$ adds up quick. This cold brewed coffee gadget called a Toddy is perfect for an instant iced latte on the way to work in the morning.

The Toddy brews one pound of coffee at once with only nine cups of water. The jug of coffee concentrate can then be kept in the fridge or freezer for a month perfectly fresh. Just add about twice the water or milk to the concentrated Toddy Coffee when you are making your iced latte venti :)

Bike Monkey Boggs MTB Race pit update.

You know when you are on course for the first time and you finally clear through the congestion, hit an open fire road complete with whoop dee water bars and your hauling ass and you start to get a bad feeling and you're not seeing any more bike tracks. Then you stop and nobody is coming behind you. And you gulp. Could I have missed the turn? Yup, you did. And now you've got to hike all the way back up.

I knocked out the first two laps at Boggs IV and Barker is on course for the next two. Then we will do it all again for at least 8 laps in 8 hours. When its over, we drink beer for 8 hours as a reward for good behavior.
