The Guthrie Coffee Cruise


Caffeine is such a cruel taskmaster. Not only does it demand our attention each morning, but for some it requires a chaser of bicycle riding. And that is why we have begun Guthrie's newest weekly ritual: The Guthrie Coffee Cruise.

Six of us met last Saturday morning and Winans, rode around town for bit, had a good time, talked about home improvement, aboriginal peoples in Brazil, sailing, and golden retrievers (not necessarily in that order). We'll be riding again this Saturday. Feel free to join us at Winans super fly chocolates and coffee at 9 a.m. We'll have a cup, chat a bit, then hit the mean Guthrie streets for a leisurely ride. Last week we rode up Oklahoma to the temple, over Highland Park, back to Harrison, returned to downtown, then over to Kent's shop, where we parted ways. Who knows where the wind will carry us this week.

Here's a shot of a few of us taking a pit stop at the Red Cross Bike Rodeo. Evidently, Guthrie Coffee Cruise participants are in some sort of witness protection program and cannot have their faces photographed.















Like I said, this ride is leisurely, ie, our priorities are as follows: drink coffee; sit, talk, and drink coffee; sit, talk, stare at bicycles; ride bicycles.
