Pancake Ride
Amy and I did Harpeth Bike Club’s “Pancake Ride” this morning. There were about 30 riders for the weekly ride to Puckett’s Grocery in Liepers Fork. It is 13 miles to the store of rolling hills with one short 14 percent grade hill around mile 10. At the bottom of the hill is a frowning face and there is a smiley face at the top.
I had not been in that part of the county before. I was really pretty. All of the hay fields had been cut and there were big golden rolls of hay all over the fields.
When we got the Puckett’s I only saw one person eating pancakes. Most were just hanging around. I brought us both a Cliff Bar. Amy was smoked by the ride out and asked if I had my phone if we need to call the “sisters” to come and get her.
Some in the group headed out for a longer ride but we went back with the main group.
Amy did great but I was starving by the time we got back since I didn’t get any breakfast. (Of course, I made it up at lunch.) It was a great 26 mile ride on a beautiful morning.

Let me know sometime when you ride again and I’ll go eat pancakes with you. I’ve been wanting to ride with that group but worried I could not hang. Hey…and I’m a friendly bike rider…I promise!

I would have had a hard time passing up pancakes. Breakfast is my favorite meal.
