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!! 😉

January 28, 2010 at 7:57 amThe shoes will feel like you’ve worn them your whole life in no time at all. Just don’t be one of those people that wait until the last moment to unclip! The power and ease of biking with them will beat your nervousness in no time. Good luck!

January 28, 2010 at 7:59 amDo you plan to do any type of fundraising? It’s a lot to ask people to just donate $20 or more… Maybe you can get SuperFood (or another company you don’t work for) to donate some products. Then the people who do donate can be entered into a raffle.

January 28, 2010 at 8:34 amraspberry syrup looks to-die-for, especially on pancakes! good luck with your bike ride! sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun — too bad we just got snow today and I can’t run/ride outside!

January 28, 2010 at 8:34 amThose biking shoes have always freaked me out. Good luck girl! I am sure you will do awesome.

Megan
January 28, 2010 at 8:39 amI was nervous the first time I got clip in shoes too! Just remember, push your heel out to the right or left (depending on the foot) and they’ll pop out easily. Don’t try to lift your heel up. Have fun!

January 28, 2010 at 9:08 amHooray for filling breakfasts! And biking adventures! Unfortunately it’s snowing in NYC today, so my biking will have to be of the indoor variety…
kate
January 28, 2010 at 9:09 amgood luck! im sure you will have an amazing ride!
Suzanne de Cornelia
January 28, 2010 at 9:11 amAt first glance thought that was hot sauce on the pancake. lol
Angela
January 28, 2010 at 9:23 amOn my first ride with clips I took a big spill in front of the Midway in San Diego. Yeah…lots of people all around. I survived and now I don’t worry about it. You’ll get the hang of it!! Oh, and I totally recommend getting a bike rack. I use mine all the time.

January 28, 2010 at 9:28 amEnjoy your ride! Looks like a great, fuel-filled brekkie. 😀
PippaPatchwork
January 28, 2010 at 9:38 amMmm I suddenly really crave a good pancake. Perhaps for dinner?
Jil
January 28, 2010 at 9:39 amGood luck on your ride, and as always the Kodiak pancake looks delicious…that raspberry syrup sounds so good.
diana(mymarblerye)
January 28, 2010 at 9:40 amyoga AND cycling?! Fuel up girl it’s gonna be a busy busy day! I wanna eat your pancake through my computer!
Kristen
January 28, 2010 at 9:40 amSomething about this morning, I couldn’t get out of bed either. I think it was the snowy morning we had in NYC 😉
Krista@CommitmentisLiberating
January 28, 2010 at 9:45 amI fell off my bike the first few times when I was learning to use the clip-less pedals. You will get it down in no time and then you will wonder how you ever rode a bike without them! Have fun and be careful!!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing
January 28, 2010 at 9:55 amGood luck with the bike ride!
Your pancakes always look so so so good. I wish they sold that mix in stores.
adrienmelaine
January 28, 2010 at 9:59 amI have yet to fall off my bike! I hope you were successful, I know that it kind of catches up to you one day, so I’m bound to hit the pavement, but I’m hoping not this year!
Cole
January 28, 2010 at 10:00 amHave a good ride! You’ll get the hang of the pedals in no time.

Good luck today! Can’t wait to here about it! Hope all goes well 😀

January 28, 2010 at 10:13 amOh gosh Jenna, good luck!!! I hope your ride right now is going well. I’m really interested to hear how it went and how it was getting used to this new style of riding! Gosh, I need a bike..
Jenny
January 28, 2010 at 10:28 amMM breakfast looks amazing! Good luck on the bike 🙂
Mary (Food Fit & Fun)
January 28, 2010 at 10:29 amgood luck jenna! Have fun…can’t wait to hear about it. I also finally tried the Kodiak mix! I wasn’t successful with Waffles but I’m going to try that again. I made one big (1/2 cup) blueberry pancake. It was amazing and kept me full!

January 28, 2010 at 10:39 amI was the same way this morning! That pancake looks fab, hope the ride went well!

January 28, 2010 at 11:13 amHave fun! What a beautiful place you have to ride in!
Heather @ (The Single Dish)
January 28, 2010 at 11:32 amThose clipping shoes are scary to me!! I am not a bike rider. Pancakes look great!
Katie@ Two Lives, One Lifestyle
January 28, 2010 at 11:42 amRaspberry syrup? MMM… I bet this version is a little better than those flavored syrups I remember from Perkins! Have fun on the bike 🙂
Jenny
January 28, 2010 at 11:50 amI 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!
Penny
January 28, 2010 at 11:50 amUntil 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.
Penny
January 28, 2010 at 11:52 amWell that’s embarrassing. thier = their
MMiller
January 28, 2010 at 11:59 amGood 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!
Salah@myhealthiestlifestyle
January 28, 2010 at 12:08 pmThat 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 pmGood luck on your ride!
Laura Georgina
January 28, 2010 at 12:26 pmWith such a gorgeous tasty breakfast there’s no way your bike ride will be anything but amazing! Have fun.
Fancy
January 28, 2010 at 12:42 pmHey 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 🙂
jenna
January 28, 2010 at 1:07 pmFancy,
Well Kath tells me that 40 grams (the serving size) is actually 1/4th cup mix. Hah!! So I decided to see if I noticed a difference between 1/2 and 1/3 and I don’t…so now I just use 1/3rd.
Jasmine @ Eat Move Write
January 28, 2010 at 1:16 pmlol. You’re so funny. It’s a very California thing to do to learn to be a hardcore biker. I’m excited for you.

January 28, 2010 at 1:45 pmJenna your pictures never fail to get me drooling. I see pancakes in my near future =D
