Coffeeneuring 2019 Kick-Off


I could just feel this was coming around again this year.  The shorter days, the slightly dryer air, the sense of nature awaking from summer's estivation (we see that sort of thing here on the southernmost fringe of the deep south).  Once again, it's time for Coffeeneuring.

While this year's rules are not up yet, here's the announcement post.  Dates run from October 11th thru November 25th.  In past years the event has consisted of seven bike rides to seven different coffee shops, no more than one per day and two per week, scattered over seven or so weeks.  Minor trophy swag (TBD, but usually a patch) is awarded to the finishers, but the real point is to just go ride and drink coffee.  Already the calendar's shaping up, and plans are coming together.

Last year's coffeeneuring was a rousing success with all seven stages completed, and even 2017's all-too-brief attempt was a lot of fun too.  Things are looking good for this year's challenge as well.

Side note: What am I doing up at 3 a.m.?  Didn't get a bike ride in yesterday and didn't have my after-supper coffee, was crashed out by 9:30 p.m.  That'll do it.  Ugh, it's going to be a long day.
