The Adventures of John & Kate Food Cyclists April 2011

A special treat for John & Kate and the beginning of a wonderful bicycling adventure with stops in New Jersey. Dark velvet cupcakes made with stout from a micro brewery.

FoodCyclist.com is a resource and blog following Kate and John's travels by bicycle around the World. Here is the intro to their blog:

"Over the year in 2010 Kate and I have ridden over 1000 miles on our touring bikes visiting farms around the North East United States. This is in addition to bicycle commuting and racing. Starting in April of 2011 I'm going to head out on my bicycle from New York City and head South through NY, NJ, PA, MD, VA, and DE. I am calling this my "micro-tour" as it focuses on micro breweries and craft brewers."
