Lee & I like to ride out to Alum Rock Park in San Jose, which is a moderately hilly 60-ish mile round trip for us.

We (I) have taken to stopping at a 7-Eleven a few blocks before the park entrance (V knows of which one I speak) and I'll buy a pack of some evil Hostess cake-like snack item.

Last week it was SuzyQ's. yuuuum.

We ride up to the picnic area in the park, sit at a bench by the babbling creek under a shady tree, watch the squirrels and listen to the ducks, admire the wildflowers, and share the calorie-laden glob of goodness without any bit of guilt or remorse. Then head back home.

Life does not get much better than that, I tell ya.
