I also thought I'd lost a jewelry case with my "fancy" wedding ring, the one I don't wear because bike gloves catch on it. 9 pm and I'm finally standing there dangling it in front of Bubba who was asleep on the sofa. Whew.
Off to have my one shot test. Going to try a single iced latte instead of my normal large cup of coffee with mega cream. Wonder if there is a caffeine difference.

Wow, SK what a DAY!! Good thing you survived!
You guys are super! And Brina - I am so glad it is not just me!!
Working on the 5 shotter right now. I can feel my coordination slowly coming back from being worked up a bit too early by the kid who said "We have to sleep in Saturday", but wanted to bring me breakfast in bed. So she lay next to me poking me with the menu she'd drawn up for about 15 minutes til I finally gave in. Toast and blueberry jam in bed, while she had cinnamon toast on DH's side of the bed. I'm sure there are no crumbs over there...

SK - I stopped wearing my diamond engagement ring (still very simple) because of cycling. I Just hardly wear it at all. I did a century with it when I first started riding, and the gold band became misshapen. Yikes!!! So it sits in the box, too and I just wear the fat, plain gold band.Sarah

S.O. and I have titanium rings. No titanium bikes yet... Haven't bent or deformed my ring so far.
Two good ti ring sources: www.boccia.com and www.titaniumarts.com
Titanium Arts/One Off makes bikes and arm-bikes, too.
My cousin races arm-bikes. I came up behind him once on a dirt road. Broad, bronzed back; incredible strong shoulders; manly muscled arms; flowing golden-blond hair. No wonder he's surrounded by girls with hearts-aflutter!
No, he wasn't wearing a helmet. Or a shirt.Last edited by KnottedYet; 05-13-2006 at 09:03 AM.

Wow, those numbers seem a bit skewed, coffee high and espresso low. I wonder if Starbucks has more highly caffeinated coffee than others. Originally Posted by snapdragen

Whenever I buy a peppermint mocha or an iced latte, I get a single shot. That looks like the better way to go. Last Friday, Monday and yesterday I had a racing heart and I had had on my morning commute at least 8 oz of coffee (maybe 10 as I get a "regular coffee in a large cup" to provide lots of room for cream). SS iced latte today immediately before a bike ride and no problems.
Hmmmmmmmmm. More peppermint mochas?

Peets and caffeine
Do your deep roasted coffees contain more caffeine than other, lighter coffees?
Fine coffees at any degree of roast contain roughly the same amount of caffeine (about 100 mg per cup). A single shot of espresso, while it may taste "stronger,"contains less caffeine than a regular cup of coffee (only about 70 mg.) because it is made with less ground coffee.
I think they're assuming that a cup of coffee is 6 oz since they're brewing instructions state a cup is 6 oz.
OK, I'm switching back to the foo-foo drinks because I'm probably picking up twice the caffeine with my big brewed cup.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

My bike is at the shop. Tune-up time. The guys were excited to talk to me about how I liked my Serfas saddle, and my Frogs, and my bike in general. I'm becoming a regular there. I think I wander in almost once a week...
They're gonna check a factory-installed dent in my left seat stay, and chop off 1 inch on each end of my bar, as well as the usual stuff.
I feel kinda lost without my bike...
Get it back Wednesday.
Maybe I'll make myself some coffee to console me. (decaf )

Perplexed. It appears to be four horses, standing around making eyes at each other. Or three horses making eyes at one other horse. I turned on the sound. No sound. Please, illuminate me. Originally Posted by snapdragen
