Moving Along.

As some of you already know Naz asked me to write for Gapers Block food section on a regular basis. I have a feeling that it is going to make my postings about food on this site drop quite considerably! So I encourage you to check there regularly. Most of my posts will be fairly short but I'll try and piss some people off. I would like to think that I'm going to keep both going, but frankly nobody is going to fire me if I don't post here for a week. With racing season bearing down I'll have more to write about but as for now I haven't even been training for 2 weeks. Every time I have a break in my schedule the weather shuts any plans of riding down.

My first race this season will be my first road race, Hillsboro-Roubaix. Not really sure where it is but I know guys from the team are going and it looks like a fun time. Believe it or not there are actually cobbles in this race too! From what I gather the downtown loop is all pavé, pretty cool. I'm not looking for a win, just want to get a feel for the race and maybe do a break at a terrible time to piss everyone off (your with me, right Mike).

On the team front our kit order has been held up and is going to be a couple weeks late. Sucks because Zach and Kevin are going to race around the middle of this month (psychos). With some luck we'll get them in on time. We also have had a bunch of new people joining including some riders with a fair amount of experience.

Food wise, Bowers and I got an order from Arnolds Farm, a local pasture rancher. All his beef is grass fed and the chickens run around and eat cow poop like they should. We ordered ribeyes, short ribs, top round roast, a whole chicken, pork chops and country style pork ribs. The chicken looks nice and dark and lean, kind of like the ones I had on the farm while fishing with my Dad in Brasil. Tomorrow night I'm going to crack open the ribeyes I got and hopefully that will be my first post on Gapers Block.
