Man, that’s pretty early for a Sunday morning.

And a long time to hang out until the blessing of the bicycles at around 11:30.

But if there are no puppies or cute kids, and you’re buyin’, maybe I’ll bleary-eye it there.

Unfortunately, I have an actual Eucharistic church service I have to attend that morning (two, actually). :p

Welcome to the Bread thread, announcing upcoming Bread Rides.

What is a bread ride?

Think of it as a Eucharistic church service minus the church service. No sermons to sit through before you get this tasty bite. Sharing bread is a great way to build community and make new friends. These bread rides have a twist or two.

FYI – for those of us of alternate persuasions, saying a prayer over bread is standard at any meal where bread is served (because bread is the “ikkar” – the main thing – of any meal) – and of course mandated on Friday night, Saturday midday, and the evening and midday of every holiday. And as for twists, Best Buns does make a challah, but I think only on Friday, naturally enough.

Just thought I would add some to the bread nerdiness.

You must go to a different church than me.

Hmmmmmm… What kind of bread goes with condoms with holes in them?

The bread’s on me tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. Hope you can be there — everyone’s welcome.

(And if nobody shows up I’ll bring it home to my kids :+) )

Happy riding. w&w

[Rod Smith]

I’m planning on attending. Maybe ride a century afterwards if anyone would like to join me.

[Arlingtonrider]

Nice idea! I’ll stop by on my way to an Alexandria ride.

And thanks again, W&W, for volunteering with RCannon, Eduardo and others at the Shirlington BTWD pit stop. It was a very fun and lively pit stop, and Best Buns and other sponsors put out an amazing spread for us.

[komorebi]

Great idea, w&w, and thanks for organizing. I’ll be there.

[Rod Smith]

Oops I guess I missed it. Next time!

[Steve O]

No you didn’t. We saw you, but you didn’t come in.

Oh no! So close and yet so far. We were so excited to see you arrive on your bike, and then we never saw you come in. I was watching for you at the main entrance, but I figured you must have slipped in the other entry. Then SteveO went outside looking for you. Darn. We stayed ‘til after 11 a.m.
We were in a booth, and height has never been my forte….

We had a King Cake (not holey but perhaps holy), which fit nicely with the Sleaze Queen.

Many thanks to Rod, komorebi, Arlingtonrider and SteveO for coming by!

Thanks for the king cake, w&w! It was great catching up with you, Arlingtonrider, and Steve O (and getting a bonus Rod Smith sighting).
