Coffeeneuring 2020 Ride 6

 Ride 6--November 8, 2020--Another trip to support local business

We've been dodging hurricanes since Sally a couple of months ago, but they just keep coming. The winds today were out of the east about about 25mph, so, instead of riding to the beach, like we originally wanted to for the second week/third ride in a row, we decided to support a local business that has more than likely been affected by the Skanska barge blunder. I realized the wind was going to be fierce earlier this morning while playing a round of disc golf, and, since Breeze Donuts has been on the radar for a while, we'd ride there.  So instead of riding to the beach to see my brother-in-law's band play while drinking coffee, we split up our trips.  Thank goodness for the 2 mile plus ride rule :) 

Our trip today took us on our usual 'small sound loop'; an almost 8 mile ride with the wind behind us, and the wind in front of us.  We decided to hit Breeze Donuts, a startup company that's been in the area about 2 years.  Donuts, Kolachi's, and, of course--coffee!

When we arrived, not surprisingly, we realized they didn't have any type gluten-free variety donuts for Jen. But, luckily they had multiple varieties of coffee, so Jen had a coffee, and I grabbed an Apple Fritter the size of my head for the finish to the boat ramp.  

Of course I couldn't eat it all; I had a third and took the rest home to the kids to share. 

So, a shorter than normal trip this year, with a stop for donuts and coffee at the boat ramp in 75 degree, horribly windy weather.

Ride: challenging eastbound for 4 miles. Gloriously easy for 4 miles.

Coffee:  Jen an iced caramel Latte, and a Mocha for me.  

Great day on the tandem, with a separate beach ride later on the Townies.  Good day to finish ride 6.
