I thought her first reaction would be “You are going out on on your bike? It is in the thirties outside!”

13K ride ending in Starbucks to have coffee with Chalupa group, Kushal and Madhumita. And then 7K ride back home.

Went for a 5 mile bike ride with Ananda-da. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The samosa and vada pav at Curry Up Now at the end of the ride? Even more so!!

Took advantage of the off-day and went to downtown with the bike in this misty morning to settled down at Boarding Pass coffee. Took a bit of a roundabout route to enjoy the morning. The idea is to grab a coffee and write a letter to one of the daughters and a penfriend in Switzerland.
