5-hour ENERGY

This entry was posted in Racing on by .

What’s the deal with this 5-hour Energy stuff? I see it everywhere nowadays. I’ve been driving a ton and see it at all the truck stops. And riding it is at the register at nearly every convenience store in the country.

I have a couple cases I’ve gotten from various sources, but have never consumed a bottle. All I know is that whoever owes this company is printing money. I thought RedBull was a good business. This is about 1/10 of the volume of a RedBull and cost about the same I think. Actually, I don’t even know how much it costs. But, any company that has a NASCAR race team is selling product.

I’m more interested because they do sponsor bike racing with their co-sponsorship of the Kenda/5-hour Energy team. I think I should break a bottle out soon and see what all the hype is all about.

Decaf? That would seem to defeat the purpose of this I'd think.

Since Flanders was today, I thought this appropriate. I guess Hollywood has a intimate relationship with Flanders. Big win for Tom Boonen today. Too bad for Cancellara.

I rode nearly 90 miles on a Tour de Minneapolis yesterday. It was supposed to be nearly 70 degrees. It was in the lower 40's.

T-1 before the Grand opening of Hollywood Cycles 2.

The new shop after opening.

Hollywood and me.

One of those bad flats.

Gene Oberpiller's shop in Minneapolis.

Inside Gene's shop is a pretty interesting/eclectic collection of stuff.

And last, but not least, Kansas University is playing Monday night for the National Championships after winning last night.

And of course, Mass. St. in downtown Lawrence was rockin'. I know where I plan to be Monday night late.
