Rubithon!

Kirsten and I got back from California a few days ago. Just a teaser photo from the trip. It was a whirlwind and honestly not all that relaxing, but there were fun times between the stress and hectic moments.

Becky and I rode the Elephant Rock Century on June 1, 2008. Read all about our adventure and why we chose to do something this crazy here.

Here's a short little video about this event:

Coffee and Nuts...

Steve and Becky, lucky sons of guns they are, went to Costa Rica about a month or two ago to ride their bikes and do fun stuff like that. We watched their dogs Tucker and Kelso, which made Taz happy for sure. So they brought us some Costa Rican stuff, chocolate covered macadamia nut and genuine Costa Rican coffee. Been brewing the coffee the past couple of weekend mornings, wow is it good. Label says Moka Café de Costa Rica, 100% Arabica, Molido/Ground. I believe the company is Mercado Central, San José, Costa Rica.

The description on the back of the bag...

Café Moka es el resultado de una cuidadosa selección de los mejores granos de café de una de las fincas más destacadas en las laderas volcánicas del Valle Central. El café de Costa Rica es reconocido como uno de los mejores del mundo, gracias a la altura, lós suelos fértiles y un clima favorable. Café Moka ha sido procesado, tostado y empacado cuidadosamente, para que usted pueda disfrutar plenamente de su agradable aroma y exquisito sabor.

LOS PRODUCTORES SÍ SABEN DE CAFÉ

Café Moka is grown on the volcanic slopes of the Central Valley of Costa Rica, and processed and packed in its country of origin. Its well balanced cup is the result of careful selection of the best coffee brans. Costa Rica's Central Valley coffee is world wide known because of the unique combination of high altitude, fertile soil, and favourable climate. Careful processing adds to its exquisite and rich flavour.
