His first run
~ Moriah ~
A small group was going on a 90 miler. He was really looking forward to it.
He's now totally addicted and rides whenever he can. We were looking
forward to riding together but the have to wait to see what the Doc says on
the 19th. I can't wait until this is over and I can get back to a normal
life.

Starbucks just invaded New Tampa. They don't have their own cut in the

From what he told me before heading out again, they stopped for lunch
somewhere around the halfway mark - but it was mostly all country roads.

That was the spookiest part about the deep south when I was there for
a track event. Every ten feet was another church. I mean there were
more churches than people, which strikes me as kinda odd.

Yes! It struck me the same way especially when I found out about all the
wife beating, incest, drunkenness, adultery.... going on down here in the
south. Maybe they NEED all these churches. What would they be like without
them if they're this bad with them? I'd be afraid to know.
If I had a choice I'd move back to Queens in a New York minute.

The truth is that her sig is cute, but applicable only to those whose rides
are too miserable to use.

True. The last thing that would keep me off my bike would be a "watering
hole."
Unless, like you said...miserable. And I have never referred
to myself as a biker although I've been a steady motorcycle rider for over 30
years now.

Sorry I got's to call "BULLSHIRT" on that whilst the average "spoogebucks"
starts off with realativly good beans, They then allow some cretin who couldn't
spell "Maragogype" much less be able to make a decent pot of coffee with it!
Just a bunch of corporate flaks that couldn't make weak tea. Their coffee is so
weak I can see the bottom of the cup...my tea is stronger than starsucks
coffee. Over priced...dude crack is cheaper.

Man I shudder to think at what you conisder strong coffee.
Here in NY they actually get it pretty good. Ok so it's not a liquid
orgasm or anything but it's decent coffee for what it is. If they
brewed it any stronger I'd be typing like Adny right now.

I've had vending machine coffee often, Waffle House sometimes. Starbucks
is MUCH worse, it's the absolute, positively worst coffee I've EVER had!
motomanic
The best coffee is always at truckstops. Truckers aren't going to put up
with bad coffee. And nothing beats the road dust or "grippy eyes" on
a road trip like a good cup of joe. Or me either for that matter, uh, but
then
that's for another time. ;)
If it ain't any good, quit going there. Maybe they'll get the hint. Ya
reckon?
And don't knock Waffle House. 90% of the time they are the only places
open at 3:00 in the morning when I'm ready to climb off the bike and take
a break.

Different people have different tastes, there's people already heard from
that like Starbucks and I know at least one of my friends who does although
most people I know won't drink their stuff....

Right, couldn't agree more!

Not from me, I've never gone to Starbucks. Twice while waiting, friends
have brought me a cup of their coffee because they were nearby, I've been
delighted that I wasn't paying for it!
> And don't knock Waffle House.
Not me, after I learned not to eat their waffles I found the rest of their
food is ok.
BTW, if you're travelling, grab a waffle from them and carry it in your
saddle bag. You can use it to patch tires because it's tougher than the
stuff they make tires out of! If they ever went into the tire business
they'd have the longest mileage winner...... <G>

Regional differences. I had breakfast in a diner in Poughkeepsie, NY once,
the waitress asked how I liked my coffee and I said black. She started to
set down a coffee with cream and said, "Oh, you wanted it black" and took
it away. She came back with a cup of black coffee and told me she had to
draw three cups of coffee before she could get one black. The coffee urn
was next to the creamer and she said she filled the cup, moved it under the
creamer and hit the lever to dispense the cream all automatically! She
said in her 20+ year working at that diner she'd never served black coffee
before? I learned in Poughkeepsie coffee with cream is called "coffee
regular" and that's what most people there prefer.
That was back in 1964, I wonder if it's changed by now?
Charles Soto
Same here in Austin. And at the airport in Phoenix. And in San
Antonio, at least the one off Broadway. It's the one place I can be
assured of half-way decent coffee.
BUT, it is absolutely not the best coffee in town, it's overpriced, and
positively devoid of character.

Where you at? The WH in my neck of the woods is pretty darn good.
Maybe it's the cook. I get a big stack of them with ham and eggs.
Damn. Making me hungry. I may have to make a WH run now.

Phoenix, AZ. We've got a bunch of Waffle Houses here and I've been to
several of them. The waffles are tough but the ham and eggs are fine, I
just get them with toast and hashbrowns.

Around here, Circle K convenience stores brew some of the best coffee in

are like that. There's one in south Ft. Worth that has good waffles.
But maybe they'd make you up a stack of flapjacks instead. I got in
good with a cook at one of them and he would make me a tall stack
every time I went in. I guess it's a good thing he moved on to better
things or I might not be able to zip my britches.

Well since you asked so nicely...I usually purchase a dark roast bean then run
it through a burr grinder set for turkish grind! 12cup pot and 7-8scoops
(freebies from gevalia) Mornings usually takes a 4shot esspresso with some
whole milk foam for giggles. just enough sugar (white death) to taste. That's
all, secret to good coffee is the same one as good beer clean equipment.
