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.

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.
