As the chill of winter gets a firmer grip on the weather the warm comforts of your home get more and more important after the ride. Since I’m not married I don’t have the luxury of having a loving spouse at home preparing a nice hot meal to help feed my tired shivering body and bring me back to normal.
But I do have a crock pot, and I love her. From the moment I walk in the door I can smell her warm deliciousness brewing and I know that as soon as I peel off the layers of clothes, gloves and head gear that my fingers will be wrapped around a steaming bowl of something…chili…stew…chicken soup…it doesn’t matter… what matters is the love in every piping hot spoon full. The comfort of a hot crock pot meal is hard to match.
It’s the simplest form of “comfort” food.
Chop some veggies up….throw in a hunk a meat or two…broth of some sorts…maybe a beer for richness…
close the lid…turn it on…go for a nice long ride and when you get back she’s ready and waiting…and if you’re late…she tastes even better! Girlfriends have walked out on me…friends have let me down…hell I’ve even had a dog run away but I can always count on my bike and my crock pot.
A bit of winter biking advice…Buy good technical layers, don’t go far from home…call me when you’re ready to ride and buy a BIG crock pot!

I love my crock pot!
