I officially started training for my 2013 Tour de Cure with a 78-mile ride today … Davis to Winters to Vacaville to Dixon and back to Davis.

We stopped to have lunch at the Nugget Market in Vacaville. If you’re looking for something super refreshing, healthy, and easy on the stomach, try fresh squeezed pineapple juice. It’s loaded with an enzyme called bromelain. Just make sure it’s fresh squeezed and not canned or from concentrate. You can order it at the juice bar. A large (I think 16 ounces) was $5.00 and worth every penny of it.

Here’s some information on the health benefits of bromelain from the University of Maryland Medical Center website:   http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/bromelain-000289.htm

A quick rest stop in Winters.

Oh, dear ... one of these days I will get this self-photo thing down.
