Pedal Pusher

Mornin’!

I cannot seem to wake up this morning…I don’t know why I feel so TIRED! I slept for 8 hours and have had a strong cup of green tea but still….maybe it’s the fog.

I was starving when I got up at 6:45 and made a large pancake for breakfast to fuel me for my first bike ride!

This is a pancake made from Kodiak Mix (1/3 c mix) topped with barney butter, whatever was left in the greek yogurt container, a banana and raspberry syrup. Mmmmmm perfect fuel :)
Phillip isn’t coming till 9 but I’m going to practice NOW getting on and off the bike and clipping in and out of the pedals so I don’t make a fool of myself and fall on my face. Excited to switch over and use the cycling feature on my Garmin!
If I don’t come back you may have to come out and find me!! ;)

Have fun! What a beautiful place you have to ride in!

Those clipping shoes are scary to me!! I am not a bike rider. Pancakes look great!

Raspberry syrup? MMM… I bet this version is a little better than those flavored syrups I remember from Perkins! Have fun on the bike :)

I just drooled at the thought of eating such a pancake. That’s attractive. Hope your bike ride was terrific! I’m such a klutz that I don’t have the guts to try the fancy-schmancy pedals- although I want to. The fear seems to be outweighing the desire for now. Let us know how it went!

Until I read about it here and on Caitlin’s blog (HTP), I didn’t know one could clip thier shoes into thier bike.
Sounds scary. I would most likely injure myself. I mean BADLY injure myself. Someone-call-a-ambulance injure myself.

Well that’s embarrassing. thier = their

Good Luck Jenna! I would get the bike rack as well! You will find some places you want to ride that aren’t close to home! And you will learn to love those pants! I went on a bike ride without them and have bruises on my butt! And it was a short ride! And those clip shoes scare me to death!

And boy does that pancake look great! I think I just may have to go online and buy some!
I just got back from a trip to Whole Foods! I always think of you when I go there! I bought a loaf of the millet bread! I forgot a few of the things I was planning on getting….I guess I will have to go again next week!

That pancake looks wonderful! I think I’m going to have to try that! I’ve never had Barney Butter before, what exactly is that?

Marissa January 28, 2010 at 12:24 pm

Good luck on your ride!

With such a gorgeous tasty breakfast there’s no way your bike ride will be anything but amazing! Have fun.

Hey Jenna!
Just curious…I know in the past you have said that you always use a 1/2 cup measurement of pancake mix…which is exactly how much I always use. Is 1/3 a better measurement when making pancakes for one person? Thanks for your advice :)

lol. You’re so funny. It’s a very California thing to do to learn to be a hardcore biker. I’m excited for you.

Ariffa January 28, 2010 at 1:45 pm

Jenna your pictures never fail to get me drooling. I see pancakes in my near future =D

Heather (Heather's Dish) January 28, 2010 at 6:19 pm
