The Art of the Coffee Ride
Sometimes cyclists tend to take themselves too seriously. I have to admit that I'm guilty of this. I want to race and do well, so I focus on training and having the right gear. That means getting up early and riding by myself in the dark just so I don't miss a training ride. I'm also not afraid to walk into my local coffee shop wearing lycra looking like an idiot.
Being so serious can sap all the fun out of riding a bike, so from time to time we need to step back and remember why we ride. Riding is just plain fun and it makes you feel like a kid again. In my case, a kid with some grey hair but a kid nonetheless. Enter the Coffee Ride. The Coffee Ride is basically just a ride to the coffee shop where you can just chat with friends over an easy ride and a coffee. Sometimes we take this to the extreme and try to see what crazy things we can see along the way.
Hope you enjoy some of the crazy things that I see on my Coffee Rides.
