Funny, this got me thinking about a ride we do that we lovingly call the "Coffee Shop Ride". It's about 35 miles through some pretty busy roads, shopping centers, commercial areas.... and there's either a Starbucks or a Caribou coffee shop every 7 or 8 miles. We don't stop at all of them unless it's cold... but we do drink some coffee and plenty of Starbucks cookies or muffins on that ride
Wouldn't it be fun to have a Donut & Coffee Shop ride?----------------------------------------------------

This has me laughing hysterically - I have family in Illinois, so I will happily aim to ride this next year!

That is AWESOME!!!! I love to have a donut or two (or 24), so that sounds like a BLAST! It's the only way I'll ever get time taken off my ride.

So McGlasson--how many donuts did YOU eat? Did you use the potato smashers to smush them together?!

We did one of these near Houston, TX. It was a great time, but I didn't eat many donuts for fear of barfing! That was kinda a bummer, but otherwise, lots of fun - even with hubby's two flats....
