    For my first coffeeneuring outing this season, I’ll be a long way from home, and with my grandson, in Silver Spring, MD. Can’t wait to get underway…

    “No good deed goes unpunished.” Why do I mention this? Because Hurricane Matthew is approaching the coastal areas of South Florida and, unless current NOAA/NHC predictions change, it is expected to make landfall down here sometime between mid-morning and mid-afternoon, on Thursday (yes… THIS Thursday). So, the first event of the 2016 Coffeeneuring Challenge might well prove to be “challenging”. Perhaps not. Film at 11.

    My third year. Mary, Dennis from Springfield,MO. Leaving Fri morning for a 5K run in St Charles,MO. Not running but will be there as a state secretary for the non profit doing it. Taking my 9 and 12 yr old grandsons so we can ride the KATY trail Friday and drink coffee and pop. Hope it will be my best kick off ride so far.

    Can a coffeeneuring ride be interrupted by a permanent? I have some that I ride a mile or more to the start, do the 100k, and then ride home. Coffee either pre- or post- ride.

    Just one question: Will the coffeeneuing police break down my front door and confiscate my patch if they suspect that I bent the rules?
    Oh, wait, another question: One of our local breweries has a fine coffee porter. Is that an illegal beverage?

      The coffee porter is NOT an illegal beverage for purposes of the challenge. It falls into the gray area of okay!

    I’m glad the challenge photo I posted today doesn’t count. The coffee was pretty bad.

    So a highly motivated person could actually go out Coffeeneuring this Friday and Saturday, knock down two Coffeeneur events for Week1, and then go out Sunday and Monday and be more than half complete in 96 hours. Dayum!

    When taking the picture do you want your bike or helmet in the picture? One whole picture, or can it be a collection of a few ?

      Ideally, the pic does have some aspect of cycling in it so it shows you rode your bike to the location. How you do it is up to you. Photos can be just one photo per outing, or a collection of a few pictures, too.
