Wednesday Morning Rides & Coffee

The Holy Saddle Saints met for coffee at the Morning Star Cafe this morning. Karen & Anne rode the canal trail and met Janelle & Myra there. WHAT A ZOO!

We arrived @ 8:45 AM to learn that the coffee bar can not serve drinks during Mass so we visited while we waited. Anticipating a huge "coffee rush" after Mass, we got in line & ordered our cups. Seriously ... the barista couldn't put anything in them but she had our cups laid out!

As the coffee addicts poured out of Mass, the cash register crashed and the Saddle Saints were in line without coffee & unable to pay. Chris M. came to Carol's aid & work on the register while she filled the addicts orders ... Saddle Saints waited patiently. The addicts dispursed and the Saints were finally served. Did I mention that IT WAS A ZOO!

During our meeting it was motioned & seconded that we should have a patron saint for our team. No one knows who will do that research ... we just thought it was cool. Anne suggested "St. Jude" ... patron saint of lost causes. Perhaps we can each adopt a personal saint name to chant during the ride when the going gets tough!

We'll plan on another ride next Wednesday ... Karen is requesting a group weekend ride too. Yahoo! I'll bet we could let boys ride with us then ... whatdoyouthink?

Signing off on behalf of Saddle Saints worldwide ... Anne!
