Make Espresso as Good as on Your Coffeeshop Ride

April 15th, 2020 12:39

Thrid wave espresso at your local independant café is hard to beat. But you can get pretty darn close (and actual spot on) at home with a bit of practice. Here are some espresso tips

Becoming familiar with the wonders of great espresso is one of collateral gains I've made so far through riding a bike... I discovered good ( really good) espresso in 2013 in Santa Barbara, California. Thank you cycling, thank you teammates - more ...

June 24th, 2019 16:24

I love bikes. I love fun. I also love... coffee. Over the years as a cyclist, I've traveled to over 20 countries. I've learned how to win, how to lose, how to keep trying and sometimes how to make the impossible possible. I've learned how to ask ...

Lunch-spiration

June 23rd, 2019 15:49

Please give it a vote by clicking the link in my bio! (The video showing how to make the recipe - 4 ingredients and a few minutes - is on my YouTube channel and the latest blog on www.lexalbrecht.com).

New battery day. I love that I can change my @4iiiicom's battery myself, that it takes the same size as my kitchen scale and my bathroom scale, and that the trusty dolla store sells them. Easy to find, easy to do. That leaves efforts for other stuff! #4iiii #4iiiipowermeter #4iiiiprecision #4iiiipodiiiium #4iiiicom #4iiiiambassador #4iiiinnovations #4iiii_powermeter #cyclistsofinstagram #cyclist #cyclinggirl #powermeter #powermetertraining #poweredby4iiii

204 2 I am a gently-hit-two-birds-with-one-stone kinda girl.
For example, I almost always do something while brushing my teeth, and I also try to pick my mid-ride pee-break spots wisely : where there's something interesting to look at, that I might otherwise never get to see.
