Coffeeneuring 2019 - Ride 6

Sunday November 17, 2019

Ride six took us on our longest journey so far this year on the tandem.  Under perfect conditions (sorry, but I like to rub it in) we rode to the Naval Live Oaks north side.  Riding with our neighbors, we chatted about goings-on over the past couple of weeks, and caught up on life in general.  It was a little chillier than normal, but by the time we rode home from one of our absolute favorite spots, it was clothing/knit cap shedding time.  The ride there was in knit caps, jackets, and two extra layers in 54 degrees, but the ride back after warming up from coffee outside, turned into sleeves rolled up, jackets tied around the waist , and a little fight against the east wind.  No problems though for Jen and me on big blue.  The tandem rides again after a week off with cruisers while at the Naval Live oaks. Even though I need a better saddle for the front (my Selle Anatomica X came unriveted and was trashed)  I'll finish out our rides with Jen using the buzz off.  





Ride 6: 10.74 miles; 55-65 degrees
Coffee:  Rob campstove MSR at the NLO with two packs of folgers
               Jen campstove MSR at NLO  with Earl Gray tea. 

Waiting to finish out the year with a final ride to keep the tradition alive.

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...
