Coffee Rides


Chillin. Last years kit plus white long socks and my favorite Gerolsteiner hat with the top cut off makes perfect coffee ride attire. Style is key on any javastop.

The week before Provincials saw a few hard sessions and a handful of coffee rides. Toodling around for an hour or two and then ending up on the patio of your preferred joint is one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon. The place I frequent even has a subscription to 4 major news publications which helps pass the time on long summer afternoons. Once corporate lunch is over I usually have free reign over papers and choice of tables so although somewhat lonely, it is very relaxing. People are funny and I love to watch them , especially corporate types in poloshirts with their blue tooth sets and clip on mobile telephones. For now I am on the outside looking in and I am enjoying every minute of it.
Take a well deserved break, go for a coffee ride!

Where have all the good people gone!? Its 13:12 and empty on one of the nicest days of the year. Oil, it fuels more than one bad habit in our culture....

Your favourite coffee in town is at the Good Earth in Eau Claire? Interesting pick, I never figured them for good coffee. I'll be looking to join you for some mid-day coffee rides soon as I'll be back in Calgary on the 31st and don't have a job lined up yet.

Coffee is bunk at Goodearth, but I value the outdoor seating and location. I have many other places to go for good coffee, but they lack comfortable seating and free newspapers.
