Coffee Rides
as much as i wanted to put in some mega miles today, i ended up taking a rather nice, 'laid back' coffee ride this a.m. after many months of neglect, i got out the old Rans Rocket, pumped up the tires, checked the package over just a little, and headed off to the best coffee joint in the 'Ville, Sunergos on Preston. i met a friend there for some lively conversation and some excellent brew, augemented by 2 nastily wonderful maple donuts from Nords Bakery. my friends, there is no single greater alimentary experience than Nords donuts and Sunergos' coffee hand in hand on a sunday morning.
given that i hadn't been on the Rans in a good while, i found myself enjoying it quite a bit. i was able to occassionally get in the big ring and make some progress, and the laid back thang proved the perfect way to go coffeeing. i admit i've never become a full convert to 'bent riding, as the handling- to the day- doesn't suit me, too twitchy. but it was a really nice, and taxing ride (as i was late). i returned home having broken bread (donuts as it were) with friends and having used the bicycle for what it was intended-- transportation. perfect
10 miles, who knows the avg b/c i don't have a computer on the Rans
