It sounds a little far to bike 14 miles just for coffee. It's really not far at all.. we bike 6 miles to Starbucks and bike home the other 8 miles along a rolling hilly dirt road.
I don't like Starbucks food or need coffee, so I bring my own breakfast, a Greek 80 calorie fruit yogurt. I was missing all the raspberries I dump in it.
I do like that they list calories on every food and drink option. It really does help me decide that I don't need a cinnamon roll that has well over 300 calories. Steve too made a healthier choice getting their version of an egg Mcmuffin,.
It's a little hard getting motivated to bike another 8 miles after we finish our breakfast.. But once we get moving it feels great to be out enjoying the morning. Steve is looking to get a new lighter weight mountain bike. I think its time to upgrade. We do a fair amount of dirt road biking so its time to start looking.. Might get a deal at the end of the season?
I like how the city of Rosemount has all these bike paths and signs every where. They are really a bike friendly city.
Pace on the bikes was all over the place. Some of our riding is on paved roads, most is on dirt and there are a few places we have to stop to wait to cross roads or wait for a train.. 1 hour 10 minutes to go 14 miles. I'd really like to do this route 2x's and some day do a 100 mile road trip all on our bikes. I don't think we've biked farther then 25 miles and the longest we've been on our bikes was last weekend 3 hours in the woods.
I was thinking about doing a brick workout.. run right after getting off the bike.. but nope.. Decided to finish up breakfast and enjoy the rest of my Saturday.
