Coffeeneuring 2019-Ride 3

October 28, 2019

Our third ride ruined all hopefulness to cook our coffee outside for all our trips this year.  
After riding my motorcycle today for 118 miles; on my day off and battling a 'slight' hangover from the Lucero rock show the night before, we checked the weather forecast.  We also felt lazy today:) 

Upon seeing the next three days as being constant rain forecasts, we chose to ride the easy ride to our local Starbucks.  The weather was too beautiful not to be outside doing something, so we got up with our neighbors, also veteran coffeeneur-ers and met up for a 6 miler through golf course back road neighborhoods in order to keep away from the dreaded hwy 98 and the rush hour mayhem.  

 Jen chose the pumpkin spice Frappuccino and I went with my small Cafe Latte. Just what we needed after long busy day. Her, with actual work, and me with too much fun and riding. It was great catching up with our neighbors as we haven't seen them too much lately.  Amber taught us about extreme couponing and Joe and I caught up on football, lacrosse, and other sports that we hadn't chatted about for a while. A fitting end to daylight hours and the ride home under blankets of clouds with a small sliver of sun working it's way to the horizon.  

We planned on hoping to get 100 miles this month, unfortunately, that won't be happening with 3 days left and 46 miles for the month so far. Guess we can try again next month. 

Mileage 6.0 under perfect 70 degree no wind conditions
Rob has his Cafe Latte, Jen opted for the cold Pumpkin spice Frappuccino
Our neighbors chose the the colder varieties of tea and coffee.
Another perfect ride day. Ride 3 in the books!

Coffeeneuring 2019--year 7

Coffeeneuring 2019 Ride 1 Hard to believe it's been another year already. Already supposedly autumn and the colder weather rides are to commence, but it's been 90 degrees. Still. In the middle of October. Yuk.  I'm ready for cooler weather until it gets cooler, then I'll yearn for warmer temps. Every year.  Jen and I will be riding again this year--hopeful to make every ride again on the tandem.  We liked the idea of boat ramps last year, but are definitely going to try and do the tandem on all the rides this year. Looking forward to another year of Coffeeneuring! RIDE 1 October 15, 2019 So it's been another year of short rides.  Another year of a different kind of ride, as I was able to achieve my motorcycle license last year. I guess it can be easy to get lazy in your old age, but the new motorized 1400CC Suzuki can be exhilarating, and has become the ride of choice lately! HOWEVER.... I still love my two wheeled Burley tandem and rides with...
