Adventure 544: Proctorville Ride/Post R

Art shot of the day.

Undaunted by the overcast day, the threat of rain, and the sub forty degree temperatures, we six intrepid bikers, (four dudes and two babes), headed out for our second Vermont ride of this trip. We've done part of this route on prior visits to Vermont. It's a mixture of of paved riding and a good dose of Vermont's hard packed dirt roads. The gray day lessened the contrast of the scenery so reflection was at a minimum.. Nonetheless, we traversed the twenty miles without incident. Steady rain is promised tomorrow, so we'll begin solving out transportation problems. Frank's car problem is merely removing a screw from his front left tire, which should be easy. Johnny's twenty-one year old car is another issue altogether. Ed, Johnny, and Frank will be on the mechanic's doorstep when he opens up in the morning. Once we know more, we'll make further plans. In the meantime, we're enjoying this exquisite lake home. We took showers after the ride. Deb made a tray of munchies to hold us over until dinner. We all did different things. Frank had a little work to catch up on. Judy knitted a few rows on her latest project for our new grandson who is due to arrive the first of December. I snuggled in with a book as did Deb. Johnny, and then Frank, loyal local fans, cheered the Patriots to another victory. Judy took on dinner chores, and produced a fine pot of tortellini soup along with toasted French bread smothered with sautéed mushrooms. In short, we were fortunately able to say once again, "Life is good, especially today".

 We've enjoyed this fine bakery in Proctorville a time or two before.

 I chose the liquid bread from the Outer Limits Brewery across the street.

Johnny and Frank outside the bakery suggested we go to the Brewery instead.

Not Judy. She bought treats and some bread for dinner.

Frank not too far behind.

The bread matched this trolling soup quite nicely.

Ed doesn't cook, but he is official "dish boy".
