Does anybody else have ride rituals? For example, every (or almost every) ride that I do involves a trip through the local cemetary. It provides a nice counterpoint between past, present, and future. A second one requires that I always ride to the bottom of the cul-de-sac upon which Skipper lives and do a "victory" lap. I figure any ride from which I return alive and in one piece earns it. Last, but not least, any ride that takes me near Argyle demands a stop at Irma's for the inevitable pie and coffee.
