Pie Ride Report
I know the official date is the 18th but as the greenway we wanted to ride is very busy on weekends with walkers and other slow people we did ours yesterday (Thur.). It was a beautiful day. The greenway was cut through the woods so it was almost all shaded. We did 18 miles which is the longest ride we have done since we started cycling (again) about 2 months. All went well and we both enjoyed the ride and the exercise.
The Blueberry pie was very good, nice and sweet. As we couldn’t find many places to get pie in this area and none we thought we could get to safely, the pie came from The Bakery At Walmart.

As we are both trying to loose weight it actually looked like this.

Egads! I hope what looks like a fork in the photo is actually a pitchfork! Bonus points for being brave enough to eat pie sold at Walmart!

Not going to knock the ethics as you have ridden and you have had pie= but did the berry's fall off or give any problem in on the weight stakes?
But 18 miles does merit a Trip to the "Local" Bakery or cafe- preferably on the bikes- to get something a bit more substantial.
Well done on getting your longest ride in to date but I do feel there is room for improvement---------Perhaps before the next International Pie Ride aswell.

Holy smokes! I have been negligent in my training for the pie ride, that is to say, I've not eaten any pie in months. When I came home today, there were a few packages of single portion pies on the counter. Of course, I chose the blueberry pie. I am eating it now. As I examined the packaging for nutritional and caloric info, my mouth was full of pie and my eyes bugged when I read, "The Bakery at Walmart!" What a coincidence, ncbikers! I will admit, it is not half bad.

It's going to rain here tomorrow, so I guess I'll do my Pie Ride on Sunday. Not a fan of riding in the rain.

My pie ride will be on Sunday.
I may have to go to wally world to get pie.
But I will ride, and find some type of pie!
I can't wait till I read all the threads about good pie. I still can't understand why New Orleans has no pie.

Were I you, I'd opt for quiche (it's pie, right?) at Croissant d'Or! And an almond croissant, naturally.

This thread and the "why don't I lose any weight" thread appear side by side right now.

Unfortunatly, mine will have to wait until Monday, Sept 27th. I know this is breaking protocol, but I'm working on a volcanic island and the local drivers make it nearly impossible to ride anywhere. Also, only meat pies here, not any fruit. I get back home on the 26th. I plan to ride on monday and eat two pieces of pie to make up for my stretching of the rules.
Stapfam, will this fit within the framework of the ride, or will I be disqualified and shamed forever.
I humbly await a ruling.

Sir Denver, according to some, all is not lost, apparently the rumour is that they sell a pie like thing at wally world. Prehaps, you could being the great leader you are, you could check out this rumour so the rest of us do not have to put ouselves in harms way. Then again, prehaps not! But then again a smart leader would just ask for volunteers to do the dirty deed and report back and everybody knows that you're a smart great leader. So that begs the queston who's volunteering?

I made a personal Executive Decision.
We wanted something in the middle of our ride, and there is a Panera's right there in the middle. SO, we decided on Blueberry Muffins - pretty much the same ingredients as a pie, only in different ratios. Sort of like climbing a hill - you have your choice of gear ratios. We chose the "Muffin Ratio."
So, here we are at Paneras!!

Pie Ride report, from the midwest. 40 miles, 15mph avg. Beautiful sunny day, slight headwind on the way down, nice tailwind on the way back. Stopped in the bikeshop on the way down to get a set of brake pads installed (they have enough hands to do that job, found out I don't).
P1050189 (Large)..jpg
The pie shop, My Just Deserts, in downtown Alton, Il. Highly recommended, for pie, soup and sandwiches.

Rats. I was looking forward to doing a pie ride today, and the weather where I am is conducive, but unfortunately I'm stuck in Winnipeg without a bicycle. How that came about is a long story involving a broken down truck, 8 hrs on the side of the road,and a night in a motel.
I'll make up for it next week, or the week after that in Paris France.
More about that later.

It is with great sacrifice, (ie: we surely gained back all the calories we burned), doing our 31 mile club ride and then adding miles for PIE! Forgive us for having to surcum to a "cream pie" but all the "BERRY" items they had were "cobblers" so in keeping with it being a PIE RIDE, we chose a pure PIE! (photo) of my wife Jo, who hates computers but LOVES PIE!
A breezy day but really nice and sunny and with the "roadies" leading the ride, ya we got LOTS of HILLS

I was supposed to commute today however the early weather didn't cooperate. I did however have pie. Fellow co-workers wife sent in peach pie and I had a small slice. Tomorrow however is a different story. I directed a riding friend to the different pie threads and while he won't be joining the forums(very busy at work and home right now) we will be partaking of a pie ride tomorrow. He and I are heading one direction and our better halves are heading another and we will circle around to meet them and then ride to the local diner for pie.

I did my first ever pie ride today, it was awesome, 35 miles, perfect weather. I couldn't decide where to ride to, to qualify, I finally decided to ride the length of the MUP (14 miles one way) because I have never been to the other end of the trail. There wasn't anywhere at the other end to get a piece of pie, so I had to ride back to the local market and get a pre-made pie. BTW, the pie was good.. especially for a pre-made one.

It was a beautiful day for a ride -the weather has finally gotten a little less hot. I don't keep track so I never know how far I ride, but I mapped myself on Google Maps and did 15 miles.
Then I came home and had this.

Homemade mulberry pie with mulberries I'd stolen off my neighbor's tree during season. Purloined pie is the best!
