Mmmmmm, snails.

by Joe Doyle on February 16, 2008

Stacey and I ventured out to one of our favorite restaurants, Chez Nous, a couple weeks back. It’s always good, and we like to relive our adventures in France through good wine and food.

Our dinner got me thinking – can I eat the snails that I find in my yard?

Heaven knows there’s enough of them. Each summer I kill hundreds so they don’t eat all my plants. I once considered them a nuisance, but after reading this, now I’m not sure.

Would you eat ‘em? Keep an open mind next time you’re over and I pull out some escargot.

I don’t think I could ever do it…

Roadies - grab a mountain bike

by Joe Doyle on February 14, 2008

This is one of the funniest road vs. mountain bike articles I’ve ever read. It’s not demeaning, by any means. Just good natured fun.

My favorite excerpt:
“And don’t point out obstacles. Unlike roadies, who want to help each other stay upright, one of the primary reasons mountain bikers hit the trail is because there’s always a good chance someone’s going to have a good wipeout, and they don’t want to miss it.”

Reminds me of the “take a roadie to the woods” days that Erik Weisenburger craved so much when we were on xXx Racing. I just think he wanted to challenge all those Cat 1+2 guys.
