nice little ride...

was able to squeeze in a short ride this past sunday. skies were overcast, threatening thunderstorms. but i decided to head out to durham to visit with some guys i used to work with. it was great seeing them and good to be back out on the bike.
while i was out i also wanted to bag a few more waffle houses and some bbq places. but that didn't quite work out. i was able to get one bbq joint on the way home but that was about it...

little ridin', lots of waffles...

weather has been fantastic the past couple days but the riding's been minimal...
planned to ride to lunch thursday and catch some waffle houses and bbq joints on the way home. unfortunately work got in the way and i wasn't able to make it.
i managed to make up for it, sort of, on friday by picking up son from school. it was a short ride, stretched a little longer by taking the long way home. the best part of picking him up from school is having all the other kids oohhh and aahhh over him because he gets to take off out of school on a bike. although i think he's oblivious to it because he's so into riding on the bike.
plan was to get a little more riding in this morning by swinging by the local waffle house. sorry to say those plans changed after an incident last night that involved a trip to the dentist and the emergency room for him. not feeling comfortable strapping a helmet on tender head we bagged the ride to waffle house this morning.
but that didn't mean i couldn't  pick up some additional waffle house swag for the grand tour...
