PEDS Adventure
One of my favorite signs from last year was spotted on the Trail outside of St. Louis. It was the motto of a local restaurant in St. Charles, MO, and it said, "BIKE OFTEN, EAT WELL" and it paired well with my motto of June 9 blog "I BIKE TO EAT." It was only fitting thatthe inaugural ride of the season was on one of our locally favorite paths, the Rivergreenway, to our favorite Starbucks in downtown FW with Tom, Ryan and Heidi. It was a beautiful afternoon for sipping an iced SB drink and an easy way to get "back in the saddle" again. Nothing unusual happened except that we "felt" the lack of riding during the winter months! But time will take care of that and we looked forward to our annual Memorial Day ride to help us gain more stamina.
The Stats : 8.3 miles ODO: 478 , 1 hour 41 min
HOWEVER
We woke to the sound of rain on Memorial Day, which put a damper on the annual Neighbors Memorial Day Donut Ride (see May 2012: I Ride for Dunkin). Gone was the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely ride on the Pufferbelly Trail, aka The Donut Trail. Not to be deterred, I hopped in the car, DROVE to Dunkin Donuts, and the neighbors gathered in our screened room to enjoy sipping, munching, and chatting.
The motto of The Ride That Never Was....sometimes, I just eat!
