Third Ride of 2025 - From Bubbleland - CycleBlaze

Third Ride of 2025

February 27, 2025: Warm and sunny, with 25+ mph winds out of the southwest. It was hard to summon the motivation to deal with the wind, but I finally decided to get out for a short afternoon ride. 

I stopped in the tiny community of Baskett for a few minutes and looked around, then headed for Cagey's , an old country store which has recently reopened under new ownership.

The new owner has unfortunately cleaned up a lot of the jumble that was part of the charm of the store, but I'm glad someone's keeping it open, although who knows for how long - there's a Dollar General not too far away. It looks like the new owner is going to emphasize hot food instead of groceries, so maybe he has a chance.

I wasn't that hungry, but I wanted to buy something, so I purchased a Moon Pie and a Diet Pepsi. Every few years I eat a Moon Pie, but they are inevitably dry and tasteless. I think it's time to give up on them.

Bill ShaneyfeltMaybe that's why it is always moon pie & Pepsi... Can't get it down without the Pepsi? :-)

Jeff LeeTo Bill ShaneyfeltI certainly can't. I think the few times I really enjoyed a Moon Pie, I washed it down with chocolate milk, actually.

The ride back was slow and painful. The wind was horrendous. I very rarely bother doing a bicycle ride less than 30 miles, but I did this time. I must be getting old and soft ;)
