I’ve always found chocolate milk a convenient and delicious way to pickup some much-needed energy on a long, hot ride. It’s available at almost every gas station and convenience store. It tastes great, and it doesn’t leave me feeling full and gassy. I’m not the only one who thinks it a good idea.
Chocolate milk has gained a lot of popularity as a post-workout recovery drink. Perhaps you have wondered why and if it’s right for you.

The River Mountains Loop Trail and Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail in Henderson, Nevada

A New Route North From Lakewood Ranch
I spend a lot of time cycling the roads and trails nearest my home here in Lakewood Ranch. So it is always exciting when a new route opens up that provides a different route from home. Recently, a new way out of Lakewood Ranch, into the areas north of SR64 has become available. This may be old news to the folks that are more plugged into the cycling community here in the Ranch, but for me this new route is kind of a big deal.

Both of us sleep well, and awaken to our first morning in Key West eager to explore the town.
