I LOVE iced coffee. Due to a lack of Dunkin Donuts in California, I make my own iced coffee with Dunkies brand at home. And then, of course, drown it in cream and sugar. I wanted iced coffee today at work. I wanted to bike to work. What do you know?? MY iced coffee container…
I got a new bike the other week – a BMC Team Machine SLR01 with the Ultegra Di2 components. The electronic shifters are pretty sweet – tap of the button and ‘click’, done! I might have to change the name of this blog, cuz hopefully I won’t be throwin’ my chain anymore with my nifty…
