Coffeeneuring 2019 -Ride 5

Ride 5

Every year we try to camp at Fort Pickens to view the pride of Pensacola's Blue Angels from across the sound. It is usually the best weather of the year, and although Friday night was miserable for  tent life with intermittent rain and very cold winds, Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day.  

Jen and I awoke, and, after some morning breakfast rode the Florida Trail to Battery Langdon for some 'take it with us' coffee and some pics.  We got to the location, then hiked up to the top of the Battery, viewing the snowy white sands, the Santa Rosa Island geography and the ranger station.  Another perfect day on the gulf coast for coffeeneuring.  This is usually our quality not quantity (miles) ride but when you can couple coffeeneuring with a nice hike on the beach, it's hard to not enjoy yourself.  We definitely made up our miles later in the day with the ride to the fort, then beach rides.  It was another fantastic Veteran's day weekend. No complaints. 








Ride distance: 2.44 miles
Coffee: Folgers dip and dunk, cooked at campsite for #coffeeoutside
Temperature 62 degrees with very little wind.

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...
