Sharing recipes on the internet seems a popular activity. Here's my contribution to the mix:
Suffering
Leave home at 6:50 a.m.
Warm up with 5.9 miles; include a climb up Bliss Road.
Meet Bill at the top (suffering enhancer - like MSG).
Steep in the perspiration of the next 101 miles.
Blend in a bit over 4,000 feet of climbing.
Add a dash of back and shoulder pain.
106.9 miles into the ride, start the climb up FO.
Roll up to home with a total of 114.3 miles for the day.
Top with a Lance Armstrong retrospective on Versus TV
...where he makes it all look so easy.
Sit back and enjoy - that it's over!

About Me
- Jack
- I've been riding a road bike for a number of years and have now taken 7 supported and 3 “self guided” (semi-supported) tours. Perhaps I will keep on pedaling... My blogs provide me a place to document the experiences of training for and riding in the tours. I have also been on 23 mission trips: Dominican Republic (10), Uganda (7) and Kenya (6). From time to time, I divert into writing about these experiences as well.

Theme Song
The Long White Line
To the tune of I Walk the Line
I keep a close watch on this pace of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I watch the road that glides beneath my wheels
I ride the line, the long white line
From Seattle to Skykomish in the rain
Stevens Pass, three thousand feet to gain
Wenatchee to the great Grand Coulee dam
I ride the line, the long white line
To Spokane and Kellogg, Idaho
Up Thompson Pass to Montana we do go
Thompson Falls and to Missoula town
I ride the line, the long white line
Many wonders on this ride I see
Western Highways 2 to 93
One more mile in a new place I will be
I ride the line, the long white line
I kept a close watch on that pace of mine
I kept my eyes wide open all the time
I watched the road that slid beneath my wheels
I rode the line, the long white line
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I watch the road that glides beneath my wheels
I ride the line, the long white line
From Seattle to Skykomish in the rain
Stevens Pass, three thousand feet to gain
Wenatchee to the great Grand Coulee dam
I ride the line, the long white line
To Spokane and Kellogg, Idaho
Up Thompson Pass to Montana we do go
Thompson Falls and to Missoula town
I ride the line, the long white line
Many wonders on this ride I see
Western Highways 2 to 93
One more mile in a new place I will be
I ride the line, the long white line
I kept a close watch on that pace of mine
I kept my eyes wide open all the time
I watched the road that slid beneath my wheels
I rode the line, the long white line

Why do the words dash and pain seem incongruous?!!
Sounds delicious, but probably not for every day consumption. Suffering (like chocolate chip cookies and beer) in moderation, or something like that.
