Planning A Ride Around Food Is Valid

Riders pretend the route is always the main thing. Then everyone spends twenty minutes discussing where to get breakfast. There is no shame in it. A good food stop gives the ride a centre.

It breaks the day into manageable pieces. It gives slower riders a chance to relax, faster riders a chance to stop buzzing, and everyone a reason to stand around judging each otherâ?Ts parking. The food does not even have to be fancy. It just has to be warm, easy, and not require leaving helmets somewhere suspicious.

Plan the roads, yes. But plan the stop too. Hungry riders are rarely better riders.
