    Coffee in your water bottle

    That would make a cold, rainy bike ride a perfect ride! Coffee is good for the soul!

    IDEA: Forum Structure Organization

    Hey folks, I'm considering a structure re-organization. Basically, I'll change Southern Illinois Cycling to just Cycling Discussions or something like that. We can talk cycling in it no matter where the cycling is at. Topics won't have to be completely centered on cycling in Southern Illinois...

    Christmas Plans

    Nice. We go my in-laws, but they live next door. We have a breakfast after opening presents at our house (me, wife, kids). Then we might go to my mom and stepdads in Herrin for dinner.

    Cycling Santa's List 2025

    I want some better sunglasses and a good balaclava that actually fits and is warm. Any suggestions on both? I could probably use a new kit because you can never have enough kits, right? Got me a real MTB helmet, need to go see Gabe and get it one of these days.

    Cycling Sunset

    It's dark shortly after I get home. I could probably do a quick hour ride at Glendale if I wanted to. I can definitely get in a 5K trail run but not while all this white crap is on the ground.

    Lake Glendale is nice. Tent camp, access to showers, and all the MTB you need :D

    Coffee in your water bottle

    A buddy of mine has been drinking cold brew. He says it feels better on your stomach. I haven't tried it yet. You can even warm it up and still get the same effects.

    Dirty South Roubaix 2026

    I tried to do the full last year, but the wind was really killing me. So, my goal is to do the half enough where I stay on the bike and then go for the full.

    Coffee in your water bottle

    Any of you ever take coffee with you in your water bottle? Maybe a coffee-specific bottle? Do you think this would help you with your ride on a cold day?
