I stop in at the motel's "gift shop" to buy two bags of potato chips and two cans of Coca-Cola, which I normally don't like. But it tastes so good because it's cold and the caffeine content is needed right now.

Anything ice-cold tastes great after riding 30 miles over a mountain in 100-degree weather and drinking hot water out of a Camelbak for a few of hours!
