Kit ADD

Dang, rode into work at like 5:45 am because I am slammed. But got some ADD and/or inspiration and came up with a cute Ohio logo... Then a kit. Okay, back to work.

And your safe!

Last week I was trying to crush that off-camber downhill on the backside of Kings... That didn't end up well. Rear brake froze up, slid and hit the deck...

The Cincy Bike Racers' Dining Guide, part 1

Cross is here! But more importantly, lovely day trips to cool MidWest cities. So, I've been meaning to write up a tourism guide for a couple years. But, you know, I want to write up something comprehensive but I always run short on time.

Here is a rough start:

Cincinnati:

Dilly Deli: Okay food, some hearty comfort classics. But a great beer selection. Perfect for post-time trial discussions with certain teammates who look like the love child of Kid Rock and Axl Rose.

Columbus:

North Market: a fun selection of food stalls for everyone. Plus Jeni's (support the peeps who support bike racing!).

Surly Girl Saloon:

Adams County:

Cruiser's Diner in Seaman: Perfect for a stop back after the Frankenbike 50!

Blake Soda Fountain in West Union: a nostalgic bite after a log training ride in Shawnee Forest.

Portsmouth Brewery: Pizza plus BEER!

So here are some things I want to try or have been to in:

Bloomington/Columbus/Nashville, Indiana:

Papa's Grill: good grub and good beer selection after a jaunt to Brown County.

Backwoods Brewery: they have pizza and grub and beer and just down the street from Brown County, located in Nashville.

Upland Brewery: super solid beer and pub food.

Soma: solid coffeehouse on way to Bloomingcross

Scholars Inn Bakehouse: Kind of like a local Panera, good for breaky

New places I want to try:

The Bloomington Brewpub at Lennie's: http://www.bloomingtonbrew.com/brewpub/

I've been to the Runcible Spoon in the past, I would like to go back.

The Irish Lion, bought a pint glass there but would like to try it!
