Day one of blogging...

So I broke down, drunk the metaphorical online Kool-Aid and finally started a blog! I'm going to start writing about two of my past times, cycling and home brewing. So what's behind the name 'pedal conditioned'?  A little bit of this and a little bit of that.  The 'pedal' is pretty self explanatory (if you need explanation, stop reading now!). The 'conditioned' comes from the brewing term 'bottle conditioning'.  If you have ever tried one of my home brews, congrats because you have drank a bottle conditioned beer.  Bottle conditioned beers are either unfiltered so the final conditioning of the beer takes place in the bottle, or filtered and then reseeded with yeast so that an additional fermentation may take place. Thus...'Pedal Conditioned'.

Cycling and home brewing go hand-in-hand within my inner circle so this should be enjoyable. As a devoted reader, what can you anticipate? Well, entertaining snippets from my bike races, time trials, training, etc... Furthermore, I will post some (not all) of my home brew recipes and tips-n-tricks I have collected over the past two years of concocting some adult beverages. I'm looking forward to my first "real" post. Should be coming shortly...
