I'm in, heck yeah, any excuse to eat pie. I've been riding a 40 mile loop on Saturday mornings lately. The half way point is a cafe called Wolf River Cafe, I'll be eating pie there.

I have good news and bad news. I found a place that sells pie on Saturday morning. But there is no guarantee it will be blue berry. Hey, I'm glad I found a place that sells pie. I called them today and said I'm part of a National Bicycling group that will be riding this weekend all across the nation and will stop to eat a slice of pie. The owner of this grill said he would be sure to have a piece of pie waiting on Saturday morning.
I didn't say how large the group was.

I was all set to make a nice, longish ride to a diner in a nearby town in hopes they would have some kind of pie. But then my cycling club made plans to have a work party on our favorite mountain biking trails Saturday morning. So I bought some frozen blueberries, a pie shell and a half gallon of vanilla ice cream. I'll make my own pie and declare my front porch to be the Bulldog Cafe' for Saturday afternoon. I'll ride 10 or so miles, stop by for pie and then ride some more. Given the timing, I'll probably strap a radio to the rack and listen to Larry Munson describe the play-by-play of the UGA-UAB game as I ride. "Loran, whattayagot?"

Haven't noticed your posting your weight loss (gain?) lately on the weight loss thread!

Real Pie Riders bake their own....although the romance of stopping at some rural cafe out of Fannie Flagg or a knock-off of Irma's has a certain romance...... $.10 cuppa coffee and two-bits for pie. And a waitress with attitude and a soft heart for sweaty old farts in too-tight lycra.

I just got home from the grocery story. Mrs. Smith had already prepared my pie -- all I have to do is heat it up. (Turns out my daughters have other plans already anyway...lol)

How long you been workin' here? Well what do you know about that?

of the nastiest s&!* you can find
CHORUS:
how Bad's the coffee? how good's the pie?
if you call me " honey" honey, i'm gonna cry
a whole lot of sugar, a little pinch of salt
you cut my bitter with your sweet talk

Well, I just got invited to a meeting tomorrow for the Bicycle Advocacy of Central Arkansas at a pie-serving location about 8 miles from home. It must be God's plan. So, to quote Val Kilmer in Tombstone, "I'll be your huckleberry."

But while helping at the Legion's BINGO on Sunday night the ladies brought in a blueberry pie! I had a slice then. Is that a day late and a pie short?!
