Fuel or Motivation?

Why oh why do I love to eat donuts while riding? I might humor myself and tell myself that it’s fuel, but if I am being honest, it’s motivation.

Recently, someone asked me how long my Saturday bike rides are and how do I plan my routes. I don’t think my answer was what they were expecting. “Easy. What direction is the wind and how many bakery stops am I going to make?”. Yep, it’s that simple.

Here are a few shots from recent trips. Note - I have been exploring roads east of me (instead of south) quite a lot lately and enjoying the bakery in Cannon Falls, MN.
