Stuck on Riding

SWEET! Seriously, you can tell the Dew Tour is in town. This is a nice way to take a crappy old van and turn it into the hippest vehicle in the school parking lot. The sticker investment here is worthy of the vehicle itself. Gotta love this dude!

Underground - Ogden has a distillery!

When you think of Utah, a distillery might be the single thing furthest from your mind. However, in Ogden, Utah there is a new distillery producing a unique concoction that you must try.

"Underground" is a herbal based liquor that has the flavor of Pastis or Jagermeister but is softer and a touch sweeter. I am not a huge fan of black licorice but this is some seriously tasty stuff. It is perfect for sipping as an apres-ski delight.

Another fun thing about it is the packaging. The bottle is reminiscent of the old medicine bottles of the forties. Black, wide and with a big cap, you almost feel like you are drinking some healthy "snake oil" when imbibing. If you are over 21, pick up a bottle at one of Utah's many state owned liquor stores.

Imagine if you could analyze your day on the mountain, plan your next and get all the details about where and when you rode!
