One of the key elements in enjoying a pastry or baked item is getting them while they are still warm!
Even better, getting to smell them as they are cooking, to build the anticipation!
Riding the bike 15 or 20 miles to the bakery helps too.
If the bakery happens to have some bike-themed books to browse while enjoying the baked goods, then so much the better!
Trefzgers bakery in Peoria Heights is located in a former bike factory, and has some bike books sitting out. On this day, I was perusing "Roads Weren't Built for Cars" by Carlton Reid.
It does make me wonder if a "Tour de Bakeries" ride couldn't be arranged, though.
"Tour de Donuts"??

I hear you on the Tour de Donuts. I'm doin' it. Old Fashioned Donuts is about 20 miles from where I live and it's part of the annual "Fritter Ride." Hit Dat Donut and a couple of other spots and everybody's happy.
