We had talked about getting a combo grill + smoker for about ten years. Immediately after moving to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho in September 2024, we ordered one; it was actually delivered to the house before we even arrived.

I needed a non-weight-bearing exercise for cardio workouts, and the Alpcour Bike Indoor … Continue reading Alpcour Bike Indoor Trainer Stand

The longest distance that we have biked in one day was 50 miles on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes last year (2022). During that same trip, … Continue reading CATEYE, Padrone Wireless Bike Computer
