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.

Hellooo Withlachoochee!
If you are a cyclist, the Withlachoochee Trail State Park is a place you really want to check out. But if you are a recumbent cyclist, the Withlachoochee is a trail you cannot afford to miss. Riding this trail on a recumbent is like spending a day in ‘opposite land’, for you will typically spot more recumbent bikes and trikes during a day on the Withlachoochee than you will spot upright bikes.
The River Mountains Loop Trail and Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail in Henderson, Nevada
The city of Henderson is just 16 miles from downtown Las Vegas. It not a place you naturally associate with cycling, but in fact, Henderson is home for two outstanding bike trails – The River Mountains Loop Trail and the associated Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail.
When living in southern California, we occasionally would to head to Vegas for a weekend. Often we would pack our trikes along with us, and then head over to these trails during the day. Mac even came with us once. We always had an amazing time and totally enjoyed the rides.
Day 6 – Heading Back to Little Torch Key
After yesterday’s adventure in the kayaks, I’m ready to get back on the trikes. Although we would love to stay here and play for a few more days, our time in Key West is done. It’s time to start riding back toward home.
Day 5 – Kayaking in the Mangroves
Ahhhh. Another day in paradise. The sun rises into a clear bright blue sky as we peek out the window from the Authors Guesthouse. We’ve got another play day planned. No trike riding today. Today we will go kayaking in the mangrove jungles that surround Key West.
Day 4 – A Free Day In Key West
The Authors Guesthouse has proven a fine place to relax in Key West. It’s close enough to town that everything is an easy bike or cab ride. But it’s far enough away that we are not disturbed by the hustle and bustle on the street, and we don’t hear any traffic noise. Both of us sleep well, and awaken to our first morning in Key West eager to explore the town.
Day 2 – Long Key to Big Pine Key
Finally, the sun is shining! We peek outside our loud, smelly room at the Tree Lime Resort to see the sight of the sun riding into a crystal clear sky. Yes! Today we can begin our ride.
Day 1 – Key Largo to Long Key
I feel it’s gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
With every tomorrow comes another life
I feel it’s gonna rain for days and days, I feel it’s gonna rainFrom ‘Rain’ by Creed
Day 0 – Lakewood Ranch to Key Largo
Well, the day is here! Today we begin the Key West Tour.
It’s been busy, what with Thanksgiving and family and then making final preparations for the tour. But today all the planning is done, and we are off on our newest adventure! We both wake early and are eager to begin.
Christmas For Craniacs
The Sandhill Crane is a common site around Lakewood Ranch. Riding our bikes through the parks and neighborhoods near our home nearly always results in more than a few sightings of the big, gangling birds with their bright red heads and grey feathers.
