Gee slinke, she looks awfully young to be studying microbiology ...

Har, har! Not THAT one!

From Taber's Medical Dictionary:
Kreb's cycle: A complicated series of reactions in the body involving the oxidative metabolism of pryuvic acid and the liberation of energy. It is the main pathway of terminal oxidation in the process of which not only carbohydrates but proteins and fats are utilized.

At some point in nursing school, I think we had to memorize every step in the "complicated series of reactions". It was just as quickly erased from memory! It all relates to biking, though. Our tiny little mitochondria in the cells take our Kashi Heart to Heart cereal with walnuts and almonds, strawberries and soy milk (in my case), and turn it into power on our new Bianchi Veloche bikes (again, in my case), to ride! Ride! Ride! All via the Kreb's cycle.

Now I get to learn about the maps. Are they for trail riding?

Here's the link to Krebs Cycling Products, makers of the Krebs Maps, which slinke swears by (literally and figuratively, I'll bet ...)

http://www.krebscycleproducts.com/

They make road maps and mountain bike trail maps. They're really great maps for cycling.

"Krebs Cycle Products produces detailed and concise bicycling guide maps covering much of Northern California. Our maps are originals, made just for cycling. They are carefully drawn to exacting detail and printed in beautiful colors. The extensive information on traffic, hills, bicycle trails, suggested routes, services and points of interest is not found in any other map or book."

But, unfortunately for the rest of the country, the maps cover only Northern CA.

Wow. That sounds incredible. Too bad it's only for N. CA. Thanks for the explanation! L.
