A beautiful morning that was warm enough for shorts and short sleeves. Later sitting outside at Emerald Hills, I was definitely loving how nice it was and remembering mornings when it was pretty chilly. On the way over to the start, I ran into Kira doing bonus miles on her way to the start so that was nice to ride over together. It was a good even number of people riding today so everyone had someone to ride and chat with. The streak continues. Natalie's lady lumps bring out all the trash dumps. Another Trash Panda x Garbage Truck collab. :) Unfortunately, no strawberry croissants at Emerald Hills Coffee. This is the second time now. Very disappointing after (fake) racing to get there. Hong pulled out a Peppermint White Chocolate Clif Bar and wondered why his kids didn't eat them. It's because that's a gross flavor, Hong. They know better! :) It's even worse than Mint Chocolate Chip, which Natalie hates, but she tried this flavor anyway. Results were as expected.
