chapter 76: quest for fire

A small group of us headed out on the moist and foggy roads today to a very nice ride: a donut ride.













Dan the man knew that Diane and I had been dieting pretty hard, and the donut ride was something I started looking forward to mid week.








We had a very nice group with Dan (the man), Michael (Jan), Diane (monkey), Ethan (e-town), Rob (ntntamfmb20), Jeff, Lisa (lisa), (Spot) Paul, Chuck (FIL) and I (fm). It was a DCCoD road ride if you will. Dan was on his single speed road bike, Rob, Jeff, Paul, and Lisa were on fixed gears. I considered it, but then thought about how I have been mentally brain dead this week, and went with the antique road bike. Fixed gear takes a lot of focus for my weak skills.









It was again very warm and foggy. we did our best to behave ourselves out on route 100. We always tightened up when cars would pass.














when we got to the Northbrook Orchard store Lisa was happy to show us around a bit.

















I had followed my diet religiously, on some days not eating enough so I rewarded myself with two of these really, awesome, outstanding, incredible donuts. They were really good.

















I'll admit I really wanted this awesome pecan pie. next week, mr. pie, I'm coming for you.










Then it was back on the road, headed for home.














Northbrook Donuts make me really happy. That was easily the best thing I have eaten this week
