what are you thinking about?
the past weekend cx races? ha!
not me.
just the facts man.
on rainy days, all i want is coffee. well, espresso actually.
don't wanna be to too awake on a rainy day.
30ml (single) espresso: 40-60mg caffine;
dbl espresso: 70-100mg;
12oz americano: 70-120mg;
12oz brewed coffee: 120-200mg (or more)
robusta has nearly dbl the caffeine of arabica. Most budget coffees are 100% robusta.
Darker roast = higher caffeine.
so, as you can see, it's a complete myth that espresso will keep you awake more than drip coffee. you need 5x shots or more to match 12-16oz drip... but it is so tasty.

p.s. cx was just fine this weekend. although cullen beat me on sunday due to my flat tire, i was able to make up for it earier in the day by hekeling frye during his race, and then riding past him in mine. sweet. like a nice shot of espresso.

I was actually thinking of how to make dropped chains impossible. as of yet stumped.
AND, I was thinking, you probably didn't know it yet, but you'd have been better with some iced oatmeal cookies to dunk in your espresso.
-teammate.
Hey now, that's just mean. I even asked you if you needed my bike! Besides it took you far too long to pass me and that's not much of an accomplishment anyway.
did you really?
i didn't hear it... oh well, i borrowed the rookie machine and it rides awesome.
...you can't help but pedal squares and look labored on his bike.
it's wierd.
