Lentil Festival runs out of gas

BICYCLING — I’m getting this second hand, but some Spokane bicyclists who traveled to Pullman for the organized bike tour associated with the annual Lentil Festival came home, shall we say, deflated.

They said they were all geared up for a lentil burger to restore their energy after the ride, but there wasn’t a lentil burger available from any of the vendors… just lentil ice cream.

Can that be true?

Does a cyclist have to pedal away from the lentil fields all the way to Boulder, Colo., Eugene, Oreg. — or Costco — to get a good lentil burger fix?
