Coffeeneuring Rewind Part 2: Ted in Alaska
When we last left Ted, he was returning from his third (or fourth, however you might be calculating) coffeeneuring ride on his Long Haul Trucker. Today, we follow our intrepid coffeeneur on the latter half of his coffeeneuring rides, which he attempts to complete riding a different bike each ride. So far, he’s ridden a… Continue reading

Coffeeneuring Rewind Part 1: Ted in Alaska
Once again we’re reliving the journey of some of our exceptional coffeeneurs. This week, I’m featuring Ted T., an Alaska randonneur and coffeeneur. Not content to abide by the mere 15 rules of the contest, Ted added an additional criteria for himself: complete each coffeeneuring ride on a different bike. Nice one! I’ve spent a… Continue reading

Congratulations, Coffeeneurs!
The intrepid coffeeneurs began their journey on September 24. Many started, but the weeks passed quickly and unfortunately, not everyone who started made it to the finish. For some, pressing life events intervened, preventing coffeeneuring challenge completion: “I have no excuse except that I got distracted by Halloween stuff.” Others fell ill: “I had a… Continue reading

A quick search through the tweets shows that several tweeps went coffeeneuring over the weekend. And what a lovely weekend it was. Here are just a few of the recent Coffeeneuring… Continue reading

Coffeeneuring Challenge Ride: Peregrine in Eastern Market
Coffeeneuring Ride: Peregrine Espresso. 10-mile ride. Because our favorite coffee spot, Swings, is not open on the weekends, Felkerino and I have had to venture out into the coffee wilderness. Our coffeeneuring of late has taken us to a few new places, one of them being Peregrine in Eastern Market. It’s a perfect place to take… Continue reading

Coffeeneuring Challenge: 7 coffee shops in 6 weekends
If you read The Daily Randonneur, you may recall my interview last month with Joe Platzner. At the end of it, he noted: A bunch of us have trained pretty hard for PBP. After PBP, I’m probably going to lobby RUSA for an official “Coffee Shop Run” medal. To earn it, you need to ride… Continue reading
