My favorite ride break

Today, Friday's ride was a quick 25 mile leg stretcher out to my favorite place to break a ride. It's called "fill your cup" and is located on highway 90 A just before the center of the town of Richmond. They make the best iced latte of any place I know and they make a brown sugar scone which is to die for. They also feature poetry slams and evening jazz, at least according to their newsletter.

So I braved the 15 mph winds in my face to ride out and get a latte and a scone. Coming back was a bit easier as the wind was quartering from the back, but the rain was coming from the front, a phenomenon I cannot figure out but is undoubtedly due to winds eddies or magnetic currentsor possibly some bizarre plenatry convergence known only in Texas.
