Pre Cali
Posted by mattcrane | Filed under Uncategorized
Hey There Race Fans,
One day out from Tour of California, and the final preperations are falling into place, mixed in with some sponsor obligations- which is an unfair term as anything involving candy hardly needs to be forced upon me.
Wednesday saw the team and staff divided into two camps and brought around the Jelly Belly factory for an intimate insider’s look at the specific magic that goes into the creation of each bean. It is a labor intensive process that requires no less than a week to create most flavors, and up to three for others. The results are well worth the effort though, which is why one of our complimentary 3 pound bags of beans will be staying in my posession for personal consumption. So far my favorite flavor is whatever winds up on the palm of my hand. Have I mentioned my British lineage? My blood screams for sugary confection at every opportunity; think of Oliver Twist, except, sir, I would like another…and another…and another…
Some bad news from the tour however. An overeager teammate placed a hand in a batch of beans to retrieve one, but without a glove on his hand, resulting in the entire batch, and a large expensive one at that, being disposed of. No, the culprit was not the greedy Pommy sweet fiend I just mentioned…
Oh well, at least I know I’m eating some clean beans. Check out the factory pics, and check back here for some Matt C (yeah thats third person, too hopped up on beans to care) specific race updates.
Check you later,
