Belgium Anyone?

So we all know and love our Ommegang .. right ?!.  Do you love it enough to know that Brewery Ommegang is part of Duvel Moortgat?   You should checkout Duvel as well as the various offerings from Duvel Moortgat to continue your Belgian brew exploration -- you'll be a better person for it (or at least have fun trying).   Click on over to Duvel Moortgat and check out the "brands" offered which you can actually get at Wegman's and some other local sources (plus they have a pretty cool website). 

So if you've checked out Duvel Moortgat and are feeling a bit thirsty and wistfully dreaming what it would be like to say "Oh yeah, Duvel, yup been there, done that" ... here's your chance to enter a sweepstakes to get yourself over to the land of beer, 'cross and chocolate ----> http://www.duvelvalentines.com/.

Good Luck

8 Weeks

Looked at your calendar lately? 8 Weeks my friends, 8 weeks 'til the road season unofficially begins in upstate NY... choose your season starting flavor .... 8 weeks 'til Battenkill? 8 weeks 'til Check Your Legs? Something else? Bloomfield? Binghamton? Prattsburgh? And that's just April.

Can't wait 8 weeks, well there are training races to the east and west a la Johnny Cake & Giro dell Primavera to use as tune-ups ... or maybe reality wake-ups.

May brings Hollenbecks, Bristol, a crit in Saratoga and then the Tour de Syracuse.

Hope you've become reacquainted with your bike ... 8 Weeks ... It'll be here before you know it.
