2014 Pie Ride
I've been anxiously waiting for "someone" to post something about this years Pie Ride. I can wait no longer .. so here it is. Perhaps many, or some, of you have been enjoying pie after every ride? Not me. I've been waiting 11 months and 2 weeks since my last Pie Ride.
This year our ride will take us past the very orchards from where the fruit will be harvested for our pies. Yumm.
Is anyone else carrying on with the tradition?

Lately I've been stocking up on elderberry pie (pun not intended) courtesy of the neighbor lady. I should be ready in a couple of weeks.
For the uninitiated-the pie ride is the 3rd full week-end(if my memory serves me correctly) of sept. It requires that you ride enough miles that you earn a fine piece of pie. Karmic points for locally produced.

Here in Omaha NE, the Omaha Pedalers host an annual Pie Ride, albeit earlier in the season. Their route takes them to four or five purveyors of pastry, and at the end they vote for the best.

I've planned two overlapping routes this year, to accommodate the recreational from speedy social riders. Hopefully if it works, we'll all start and finish at approximately the same time. Then we'll savour a variety of pies from a local farm to table establishment. I recall reading rules about the length of ride and even the type of pie, however I prefer a little more relaxed approach. For some of the cyclists joining us this year (I use the term loosely) this ride may double their annual mileage. Ie. not much. It's intended to be a fun event among friends, new and old, and enjoy an afternoon of cycling, food and friendship.
Unfortunately the 3rd weekend doesn't work with some of our friends' schedule this year, so we've bumped it up a week.
PS What happened to qpsamme's post?

IMHO there is a group who are running the forum with PM's between themselves and then targeted complaints to ever compliant mods. It has lost the feeling of relaxation, friendliness and openness from years ago, which is why a number of folks have left and formed another option. It is not the forum we started.

Today is Pie Day (unofficially) - it fits with our schedule this month AND it's a beautiful sunny day with a forecast high of 73. Perfect.
A dozen friends, a bike friendly route through the orchards and farms in town, lots of pie (and hopefully ice cream). Pics to come later.

Geeze, I hope to LOSE weight when I start my CC ride next year, this does not seem like a part of the program, however I've been known to "alter" my diet from time to time.

Kind'a but I don't think that I followed all of the rules.
The pie was home made apple, ala mode of course, and it was GOOD!

Well, I did my pie ride one day early, that is today. I must also confess that I didn't eat pie. This week-end in town there is the 100th year Cheese Days, a celebration where 100,000 people get drunk and eat cheese. I skipped the getting drunk part and instead of pie ate deep fried cheese curds. Tastes as good as it sounds and to me it sounds fine. MMMMMMMM
26 mile on the Badger rail trail which was nice. The only problem was a friend with whom I rode was having a problem with his I-phone app and kept slowing down and playing with it. I finally told him to turn it off and ride the bike, although he may have been using it as an excuse to slow down. One never knows.

Not much response. This used to be a big deal here. In fact, I used to feel like it meant a whole lot less to me than to many here who seemed almost obsessed by pie.
Anyway, I waited too long to plan a pie ride for the club, though I did post something on our Facebook page and a handful posted pics of their after-ride pie or other desserts. After a busy morning and midday of chores and errands, I finally got out for a 23 mile ride around 3:30. Fortunately, today was one of the first mild days of the changing season here, so it was actually a pleasant 80ish degrees when I rode. After cleaning up, I had a slice of grocery store cherry pie I had heated up and topped with a scoop of frozen yogurt. I washed it down with a Terrapin Liquid Bliss Chocolate & Peanut Butter Porter. Yummy.

While it wasn't pie, I did my cinnamon roll ride today.
It's a 40 mile out and back ride with a break at the turnaround for coffee and a pastry at a local place that's a hangout for cyclists here in Tucson.
it's also the most like a little Seattle coffee place I've found here since I moved from Seattle (not Charbucks).
