I had a fun ride, started with 11 and one guy and his wife dropped out before the hills. Had a flat and my inflator blew apart, 3rd one, 2 different brands.
Some guy I never met gave me a cartridge and inflator and wouldn't take a replacement cartridge when we finished. Nice guy. I did have a mini pump but happy to not use it.
100 degrees when I got home, so it worked out. Didn't really notice too much heat on the bike. Glad I stayed close to home.

Geez, fer someone that recently made a declaration about the only way to brew, you're sure not up to date on your beans and processing, are ya?
There are different varieties of beans grown in different regions, under different conditions (altitude being a big factor) and that undergo different manners of processing to emphasize desired characteristics: in addition to the common washed, dry/natural, and wet-hulled methods, "honey" processing is becoming more popular and there are folks experimenting with stuff like anaerobic fermentation.
FWIW, lately I've been in to medium roasts (but would have been considered a light roast, 'specially for espresso, a short time ago) of dry processed beans from moderate altitudes that are smooth, sweet and notably berry-forward.

Yes, I know all that second paragraph stuff. But RJones made it sound like they're pulling new varieties out of the air. There was a time when I had coffee growing out on the farm and I know it takes years to produce a single crop.

It's a new dawn, since that little debacle when I thought I was no longer addicted. It's been a long road back.

Moving over to stage 14 just as the first peals of thunder arrive. I might not finish it.

Geez! 93 miles and I'm only 9th on the Leaderboard. Y'all are taking this riding stuff much too seriously!
And tomorrow's supposed to be a hot one. My plan is to get out by 8 AM so I'm done before Noon, then take a siesta. We'll see how that works out.

Today I learned that the trunk of the Dodge WILL fit two bikes, but it would be a lot easier if both riders weren't over 5'10". One of the riders on the C&V ride was feeling a bit off, so I gave him a ride home. He had to lower his saddle, but once that was done, the second bike fit fine.

All you need to do is a nice 145.4 mile ride today, and it’s all yours.

We had a really good ride yesterday. Our “private” group seems to have blown up as friends of friends of friends are now showing up, but luckily everyone was a good and safe rider so it worked out great. I was the unofficial ride leader and was prepared to chew out anyone that pulled a doosh move, but it was all good in the end. We are now at the Jersey shore as mrs datlas loves the ocean. It’s not as bad as a baby shower, but I would rather just be riding my bike tbh.
