2025 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

I was referencing a recent post where I mentioned getting asked to leave a church. Actually I had stopped at that one for 30 years on my rides…sitting at a picnic table for a rest, sometimes going inside for water Until one Sunday an angry young woman sitting, unbeknownst to me, in a darkened SUV poked her head out and started yelling at me that I couldn’t be there because “you ain’t in the congregation” which she knew from my complexion. I do help out one church in the area from time to time but am not a member.
 
I’m sitting here drinking coffee after my ride listening to the classic rock station on Roku. Cloudy with a north breeze but about 52f so not bad. I rode 17 miles and had a little more elevation gain of 500 feet. A picture I took of an Amish horse team hitched up and tied to a post ready to work. I’m guessing the owner was eating lunch when I rode by. The one closest to me kept eyeballing me like I appeared to be a sketchy character.
