Coffeeeneuring Challenge 1: Honest Weight [coffeeneuring, bicycling]

[rebeccmeister]

When I checked social media on Saturday, I was reminded that the 15th annual Coffeeneuring Challenge had begun!

Thankfully, our grocery co-op has a coffee and espresso counter. They also often have donuts, so long as the donuts of the day haven't all sold out. At the time I got over there on Saturday afternoon, there were still donuts available, hurrah! Pumpkin donuts, no less. I felt inspired to take a photo of my donut that included my bike's Safety Donut.





The creator of the Coffeeneuring Challenges encourages participants to come up with their own themes for their rides. I'm now thinking that, in keeping with the overall aim of the Challenge, my theme might be something like, "Pause to appreciate and enjoy." This was very much true of the Honest Weight stop. I'd been running around all day, and the few moments sitting outside the co-op were much needed.

Darn it, I'd love to do that. But I do not have the necessary gear to ride through the cold, wet, and darkness that's coming in the next month. I'd do it if I lived somewhere warmer and drier, though!

Yeah, one of the reasons the creator put together the challenge is because this is a time of year when it can become harder and harder to motivate and get out of the house for a bike ride. But it definitely calls for having the right gear, and the right gear is not always easy to come by!

It was delicious! Our local donut shop knows what it's doing and does not hold back.
