All of the ranchers in Kansas would be happy if you ate extra beef, to help their bottom line!
Watch out while riding with your bovine friends. A cycling friend, Denis, T-boned a cow outside of Missoula. He ended up with several broken ribs, and a tacoed front wheel. The cow? Who knows - it ran off!
72-ounce steak!
Back in the days when I was a big eaters, (Big? not "me," I was 5'10" 125 pounds) I really wanted to consume one of those free giant steaks, but, alas... Nobody would stop and I was a mere passenger, but I have no doubt I could have done it...
As a student at ASU, I consumed 18 tacos, plus beans and salad on each plate in the cafeteria, so they were real, hefty football player type tacos and not wimpy, thin little TB tacos.
Oh yeah, and I consumed 6 foot long fully load submarine sandwiches during one challenge and had my name added to the wall, making me the 4th person to do it. They said it only happened about once every other year. There were lots of 5s.
I've come to enjoy winter cycling, but just for an hour or so at a time. No 40-mile days when it's below zero, that's for sure.
2 months agoYes, I miss Colorado a bit but not enough to move back there! We enjoy living in AZ which is always surprising us and traveling in our Airstream during the summer. We've even gotten bit by the cruising bug and are doing 4 this year!!
2 months agoI’m glad to hear you’re planning another trip! I’m amazed you bicycle in such weather. I need the temperature to be 50 degrees or more and definitely not have ice or snow on the road.
2 months agoThanks, Marilyn. So, I take it you live in Arizona full time now--except for when you're traveling in the Airstream. Do you ever miss Colorado?
2 months agoLooking forward to your always entertaining reads! But I'm sure happy to be able to spend the winters here in snow-free AZ (at least where we live!)
2 months agoSadly, that is so true.
2 months agoNot according to my chilblains!
2 months agoThose Russians!
2 months agoHey, if you've got it (or think you do) you might as well flaunt it.

Grin!
Perfect answer!
2 months agoBoof, thank you for one of my favorite comments ever. Freedom is everythin', fer sher. And Kansas will be interestin' fer sher too. In answer to any Kansas cowboy who asks "You ain't from around here, are you?" my answer will be "Ya, you betchya."

Don't feel too bad about missing out on the chance of getting a free 72-ounce steak. What they don't tell you is that it's the worst cut of the entire cow, with a lot of gristle and cooked until it becomes the texture of hardtack. The only reason to eat it all is for bragging rights and/or to get your name on The Wall.
