Boom! 5am, my phone is going nuts trying to revive me from last nights coma. As I struggle to move into reality, I slowly reach over and turn the alarm off, get out of bed and take the stroll to the coffee maker. As I wait for that fresh brew, I can catch some quick Z’s.
This becomes a quick ritual and some wonder, what is the deal with cyclists and coffee? Seems like we are always in our kits at some Java House (Hopefully Supporting the “Local Guy”) pre and post ride. So what is the buzz about?
Personally, there are a lot of great contents of coffee, mainly caffeine. This stimulant has been on and off the hot topic radar for huge period of time, but has tons of great properties for active individuals! Even I had to take some time to really gather all its properties, I am not even going to try to list them… but there are some great resources out there visit http://coffeescience.org/ and http://www.cosic.org/ who can give you the whole story, now all you need to know is what brew you are making tomorrow!
So many brands, so many flavors and too little time! I am whole bean type of guy and enjoy that freshness from the grind-your-own style, with that in mind I would love to go over some great brands and where you can get them.

Now I know your secret. Coffee is how you make the Whizzle whizzing that fast.
Just keep in mind that coffee is also a diuretic, so you have to stay properly hydrated at all times.
