1.30.2011 Ride: Patrick, the Egg Man

 After a full morning of running errands and getting back home at 2:00,  and being tired from all the riding the past two days, it was a bit difficult getting motivated to go riding.  I immediately came across my neighbor Steve when I rode out (a missed photo blog op) and had no trouble procrastinating and talking with him a few minutes.  He is a biker also but likes racing.  I'm always amazed at the speed racers are able to maintain over a long distance. 
The day was gray and damp and I guess the picture of the dilapidated barn conveys the low-key feeling I was experiencing.  I was surprised that at about the 10 mile mark in my ride today I really perked up and the damp, cool air actually felt refreshing.  The rest of my ride in the nieghborhood moved along rather effortlessly and I stopped only because I had to get home to make dinner.  During the last mile, my phone rang.  I didn't answer it but it turned out to be my neighbor Patrick letting me know that his chickens did indeed lay a full dozen eggs.  So, on the way way home I paid a visit to the Egg Man.  Interestingly, the picture of the barn above was probably an old chicken coop.

Patrick, the Egg Man.  The freshest dozen eggs in town!
