West wind. I just wish it wasn't so strong.
Rode CLR to Cypress Creek to SR54/56.
It wasn't fun going over the interstate. I haven't done this in a year or more. Phew.
Starbucks
Tall Creme Brûlée steamer and rice treat.
No ornaments here. Does any store get them anymore?
I am not looking forward to crossing I75 at SR56. I have never done it on a bike. But the construction is done so the paths should be safe.
Ugh. Had to go back. They gave me coffee. Blech. The second one is OK but no topping. Sigh.
The ride back was better than I had hoped. I took the sidewalk not trusting the drivers along SR56. The ways isn't very clear but I had to cross SR56 twice when crossing I75.
The worst part was crossing BBD when no one follows the NO TURN sign while I am trying to use the crosswalk.
14.10 miles

Quick ride to catch up.
Rode CLR to Target.
Locked up my bike
Line and cannot order ahead.
Peppermint hot cocoa but no whipped cream! They are out!
Also got the Madeline cookies since they have fewer calories than the rice treat.
I don't think I have ever had madeleines before. I expected butter or shortbread cookies but they are mini sponge cakes. While I was enjoying the drink and cakes, I read a recipe to bake them. Maybe, someday.
A tall is too much. Or maybe it was the cow's milk. It sat heavy in my stomach. I am glad it was a short ride back.
5.10 miles

This week 51 miles
