Thanks for the reminder. I suppose now I'll have to stop at Sandy's House of Flavors (mid point of today's ride) and reward myself with a berry pie.

The only way I can work out PI is the formula of 22/7. Nowadays that means I can eat pie 22 hours a day-- 7 days a week.

I didn't think of it until now, but my office parking pass number is 2319. Since they wrote the number on the inside, from the outside looking in it's backwards - and spells PIES! Happy PI day!

Happy Pi Day to you too qcpmsame!
The best I could do today was a short ride over to my folk's house and 1/2 a muffin while I was there.
Tomorrow I hope to make it up by doing my first commute of the year to work with a quick stop at the best coffee shop around for a cappuccino & a scone. (Scones - not pie, but they do kind of have a pie slice shape.)

It is also a holiday for males vs Feb 14 being a holiday for females. You can look it up in the Urban Dictionary. It starts with Steak and .....

On Pi day aren't we supposed to plan a ride, I did a 50 mile group ride, and stop somewhere towards the end to have Pie? I did that as well. And as directed in the rules of Pi day I had Blueberry.
So Stapfam and Dnvrfox can't dock my points this year I took pictures.

So, I tell my wife it's pie day. She furrows her brow and says, "It's what?" I respond, "Pie day; you know 3/14." She shakes her head and starts to walk away. I call out, "So, do you want to come with me and get some pie?" She turns around and says, "What is wrong with you?" I reply, "Nothing, sweetie, I was just reminded by the folks on the 50+ forum, that's all." She says, "Maybe you shouldn't be spending so much time there." I respond, "Well, at least I didn't expect or even ask you to bake a pie." This was probably not the smartest thing I could have said. The furrowed brow is now turning into an icy glare....
One of the nicest things about going for a ride at times like these is that it gives you a chance to get centered again, to flush all of the toxic stuff out of the relationship. An hour later, I walk in the door, and there waiting for me is PIE!!!!

Where's Dnvr's slice?
Blueberry has to be verified by an adjudicator and in this case we have to get the top man on the job. You also need a Nurse on hand if you are not an experienced Blueberry Pie man and on top of that I now feel hungry.
