A Little Frost on the Bridges
As we move deeper into winter, the hazards increase. This morning there was a light coating of frost on the wooden-deck bridges we cross on our morning rides. Our tires make tiny narrow lines in the frost and we needed to be alert to maintaining speed and direction to avoid a nasty fall.
This morning’s ride was billed as a breakfast ride. We had one first time rider (with the group). Most riders went on to Annapolis for breakfast at the Hard Bean Cafe (like we usually do on Fridays). Because of work commitments, I returned with 4 others who were likewise unable to spare the time for such luxury. I ate my bowl of cereal alone.
Severna Park Peloton has three more breakfast rides scheduled for the next three days. Tomorrow will be another Annapolis ride at 7:30 am. Friday we will leave at 6:30 to go into Baltimore to a French Bakery/Coffee Shop. Saturday is another 7:30 breakfast ride to Annapolis. I’m still uncertain which rides I’ll be able to attend other than Friday’s trip into Baltimore. Much depends on Lori’s work schedule and how long the “Honey Do” list is.
