Coffeeneuring Challenge 2019 – Coffee 1

For a theme this year I’m trying for Coffee On The Cheap. I may also try to ride a different bike each time again. More info on the Coffeeneuring Challenge here.

  • Date: 10-12-2019
  • Location: Starbucks in the grocery store.
  • Coffee: Cold brew with soy milk.
  • Miles: 23
  • Bike: Dumpster bike.
  • Details:  The woman who served us recognized our last name and said she had went to school with our Daughter. Also found out She is a para teacher and knew our Granddaughter from when our Granddaughter was in elementary school. Coffee was good as always. I brought my own cup which made my coffee cheaper.

After coffee we rode farther to eat lunch. After lunch we went to another grocery store and picked up a few items. While there we bumped into a friend and fellow bike rider and had a nice brief chat. Shortly after while still in the store a man approached us and asked if that was our Salsa parked out front. It was Nova’s. I guess it was the bright jackets, backpack and messenger bag that gave us away as cyclists? He commented how he liked her bike and that he also rode a bike and told us a little about his. One of a few things we picked up at the store were coffee beans that were on sale for $4.79. We needed coffee at home and I’ll probably use these for a coffee outside Coffeeneuring ride.

The ride home was miserable. The wind was 25 mph and coming from our house. At times I contemplated walking, thinking we might cover ground faster. We stopped once for a break and me 2 other times to pick up a pair of gloves and a fluorescent green t-shirt off the side of the road. On the way to coffee I had found a little beaver plushy.
