2014 Coffeeneuring Challenge #6

Like the previous weekend’s Petals for the Cure on city streets, this ride featured … Continue reading
2014 Coffeeneuring Challenge, Ride #1… In Pink!
I’m a man with some irony in his life. I’m an electronics technician who loathes electronics that don’t work without fault on an eternal basis. I recently started a bread-free diet and then began to visit Panera Bread to satisfy my wish … Continue reading
