MJ Swap and Gypsy Weekend

Since starting this blog, I’ve wanted to dedicate a post solely to great photos.  Well, that day has come.  Thanks to my new buddy, Chris from Chris Gomez Photography I’m posting some of his original photos from this past weekend in Austin.  I’ve been looking forward to this weekend for a while now, as I was excited to attend the annual Mellow Johnny’s Swap.  The event is a fantastic time to pick up cycling gear at great prices because dealers and reps are there to sell off old merchandise.

Okay, I’ll let the photos do the taking…but tune in at the bottom to find out more about Chris Gomez and the incredible things he is doing with his photography.

    Nice score on the bike gear! I love gear swaps. Never been to a bike swap before, but I’ve been to many a ski swap…

    Oh man, Feb 20, @trimon29 and I will have to come cheer, too,

    Awesome pics, Chris.

    Darryl, you’re giving me “Austin envy.” (Went to law school there, and never wanted to leave)

      This city rocks. There is always something incredible going on. Yeah, you’ll have to come in February so we can watch @bikerly and all those other amazing runners.

    Love these pics from Chris. Especially liked the ‘bikes’ gallery.

    Can’t wait to visit you guys down there. Weekend of Feb 20, Darryl. Austin Marathon is a go. Starting official marathon training as soon as I click the submit button. Maybe Chris can take some pics of me hobbling across the finish line with a PBR in my hand : )

      I knew it. A conspiracy to make Austin even more awesome. You guys have been plotting.

      Thanks for the kind words everyone. I’ll be at the Austin Marathon cheering on all my friends running in it and I’ll be snapping pics as well. I’ll keep an eye out for you!

        You won’t be able to miss @bikerly. He’ll likely be wearing moose antlers or something crazy like that. He is total comedy and a great guy.

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
