I made it to day 3 of 30 days of biking. 27 to go.
I was supposed to meet some friends at The Blue Ribbon for breakfast this morning. We’ve been trying to get together every few months for breakfast now. The Blue Ribbon is a good place to catch up with old friends because they don’t seem to mind if you sit there for 2 or 3 hours. I assume if they wanted us to go they’d stop coming by to refill our coffee.
It only 5 miles from my house so it seemed like a perfect bike destination. It was about 35F and sunny when I left and great morning to be out. I was riding past a big cornfield watching some geese a little way off in the field. They were keeping and eye on me and I was so busy watching them that I completely missed the geese that were parked right next to the road. I made them nervous and they took off and startled me. I only swerved a little.
The only thing I could find to lock my bike to at the restaurant were some pipes but it wasn’t a problem. I don’t think a lot of cyclists frequent this place so there was no competition.
We hung out almost until lunch time and I took off for home. It was much warmer. A little too warm to wear my windbreaker but definitely too cold not to wear it. I was a bit faster on the way home. It must have been the six cups of coffee.
I turned on to my road and saw a muskrat in the swamp/ditch trying to be super still so I would not eat him. As soon as I passed him he disappeared under the water.
No pictures because I can’t find my camera battery charger. Where would I have put it?
