Biggest Ride Ever

For my co-pilot that is.  No opie to babysit today, I needed to go to the market, so it was time to expand the range a bit.  First stop was the swap meet.  The fog was back in full force this morning. 

From there along the coast to the other side of town.  Plenty of Co-pilot snacks make for a better trip.

Half way to the farmer’s market we took a break to watch a giant date palm getting pulled like a weed

Then off to get some fruit, veggies and meat.

Even with plenty of cheesy crackers and fruit samples, energy levels were fading fast as we headed for home

Overall he trip went great.  We pushed both time and distance further than we had before.  The dividends were a bike full of food, some tired legs and a serious nap for Co-pilot while I am catching up on things.

Have fun, and Play outside!!!

 

Sunday Market Ride

Homeward bound with a full load

Today was a good haul: 5lbs grass-fed beef, 2 dozen eggs, taters, onions, zucchini, green beans, corn, a bunch of carrots and 3 pints of straw berries.  The best part about summer is the food sometimes.  Today I met another rancher selling beef, there seems to be somebody at almost every market in our area now, and that is a good thing as far as I can tell.  Our summer overcast has set in, but there was no wind today and riding conditions were prime.  The more I ride my Roadeo, even with loads, the more I wonder why I have some of the bikes in the garage.  There is a bit of overlap at the moment and it may be time to reassess the herd.
