Coffeeneuring Challenge 2021 – Armadillo Sports

Coffeeneuring 2021 – Ride 4

Strava Link: https://www.strava.com/activities/6179421283

Coffeeshop/Restaurant: Coffeeneuring without walls at Willowfork Park

Distance: 2.5 miles

Coffee: Drip

Food Items: Halloween Cookie

This was actually unexpected. I was helping out with our local scout troop at our invitational, and the kiddo and I decided to ride our bikes there, since it was being held at a park relatively close by, and because it was another gorgeous day.

And….someone brought us coffee! Bless their souls!

Any coffee that you receive as a gift is delicious. This was from the Kolache Factory.

And so after the event, the kiddo and I rode home. A very unexpected, but very welcome, coffeeneur!

Coffeeshop/Restaurant: Ooh La La Dessert Boutique

Distance: 3.1 miles

Coffee: Latte

Food Items: Astros Cupcake!

Y’all, it’s been an intense week at work. Many projects are being juggled, and I was mighty weary. Upon seeing that it was a Bones Day, I knew what I needed to do for self care:

Coffeeneuring

So I hopped on my bike and took off for coffee and a treat. And all that was cool, until the 35mph wind hit me in the face and I slowed to a crawl. It was a beautiful day to ride as long as you wanted to go 5mph.

But upon arriving at Ooh La La and procuring coffee and a cupcake, I felt the Bones Day in my….bones.

I remembered to get a pic of the bike this time!

With the Astros in the World Series, they also had awesome cookies with the Astros logo. I got one for the kiddo for his after school snack.

I moseyed on back home all refreshed and renewed and ready to finish the workday!

Coffeeneuring 2021 – Ride 2

Coffeeshop/Restaurant: Snooze

Distance: 3.53 miles

Coffee: Delicious Drip with a side of Phenomenal Pancakes!

This is a late post – I actually completed this ride on Friday, October 22, so it was my second ride on the first week of Coffeeneuring. I had a day off from work, so I decided to take a leisurely ride to coffee and breakfast at Snooze.

I must have been very hungry and not thinking clearly, because I got pictures of food, but not of the bike!

This ride was lovely on a warm and sunny day. I rode through our park and by our high school to Snooze, and I was certainly ready for breakfast when I arrived.

After all those pancakes (which I could not finish), I was too full to ride back. I did remember that I had a package to pick up at the shop next door, so I waddled over to pick it up. This makes the ride a two for one – a coffeeneuring errandonee!

Eventually I made it back home with five pounds of pancake in my belly, and it was totally worth it. Week one complete!!

Coffeeneuring 2021 – Ride 1

Coffeeshop: Starbucks

Distance: 2.35 miles

Coffee: Flat White

I did it! I kicked off coffeeneuring season with a short and easy ride to…. Starbucks!

So one advantage to living in Texas is that coffeeshops are plentiful and the riding is relatively easy! So I thought I would kick off the season with a ride that was also easy – to the Starbucks. I ride this route with my son regularly, so it was an easy ride on a beautiful day.

I’m not the only cyclist at Starbucks today!

I didn’t get to ride until lunchtime, so I got a snack also. I got a little creative with my Starbucks options:

All in all, it was a good ride. My reconstructed sammich was tasty, as was the Flat White; the day was sunny; and I was on a bike. What’s not to like? A successful return to Coffeeneuring!
