Coffee Outside With Friends

We, that’s right, WE made it out this morning for the Wednesday coffee routine.  My friend Mike is back in town and met up this morning with me on his Trek 650b conversion that I did for him a year ago.  The weather was looking like rain, so we kept the ride close to home and headed up the coast just a bit.
