Cribbing a sheet from Ocean Air Cycles, I decided that if I loved sub 24-hour overnight trips so much, one way to fit more things like that in my schedule is to fit smaller rides in (like mortar between logs in a cabin or, more appropriately, cedar shims in a door frame).
So, morning, or sunrise coffee. I left home around 6:30am and rode roughly along this route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/190735 At least up to mile 3.2. It's a pretty straight climb, but not too long. I reached the viewpoint, in time for sunrise, and enjoyed the view while boiling water and grinding coffee: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lumachrome/10085097586/ It was majestic, and very peaceful. And the coffee was strong: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lumachrome/10085344993/ Afterwards I had a fun ride down the hill, where I ate a delicious salmon scramble. So the point being, I loved how a s24o allowed me to fit camping trips where there was "dead time". Now, I'm horrible at getting up in the morning, and meditating, but I love coffee, and riding bikes, and cooking outside, so this was the perfect motivator. I think I'm gonna do this on a regular basis. Sunrise Coffee & Tea Club. It's social, but not really social. You're all invited. cc -- "I want the kind of six pack you can't drink." -- Micah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
