Costal weather |
I have ridden and commuted in the rain many times, its Seattle after all, but that was with fenders and I don't currently have a bike set up with them. Its almost criminally stupid to ride a fender-less bike in Seattle in winter but I have been riding so infrequently that I have gotten away with it. I do have a nice set of VO fenders that used to be on the Handsome Devil before I went to 700x47c tires and I think they will go on the Schwinn Passage during the rebuild so I'll have a good rain bike.
Steak and Eggs - like budda |
Although this place is more famous for their cupcakes then their coffee they aren't exactly serving up Boyd's in glass carafe.
Cupcake bias |
but serious coffee cred |
I ended up with the Triple threat chocolate babycake with a hazelnut latte, both were excellent. The shop itself had kind a college hangout vide despite being at least 5 miles from the nearest college. I can just see meeting your study group here, spreading out at a table and working on your class project.
So ride number 2 is in the books, here is the summary:
- Where: Cupcake Royale/Verite Coffee, 4556 California Ave SW, Seattle
- When: Sunday October 16th 1:30 pm
- Drink: Stumptown Hazelnut Latte and a triple threat babycake
- Ride: Since the coffee shop is only .7 miles from me I did a few loops, the location was very bike friendly with a rack right out front. Wet leaf strewn streets in the aftermath of the storm.
- Distance: 3.79 Kilometers/2.355 miles
Until next time; Ride. Smile. Caffeinate. Repeat.
I wish I could take credit but this is about the 6th year of Coffeneuring and my first ever participation so far its been fun but as we get into November it could get interesting- weatherwise. Have fun with the Hybrid and yes ducking into cafe's seems a good fenderless strategy.
