Last night at Purple Chopstix, Mer was suddenly struck by
an incredible idea. We would leave for Parkersburg, West
Virginia this morning at 7 a.m., to visit JR's Donut Castle
for some freshies!
The final race of the Gravel Rouser Classic was to begin
at 10, so we were hoping to get to the starting line by 9-ish
to surprise the racers with the donuts. These are some of
the most delicious donuts known to man.
So I picked up Mer and Michelle at 7 and our road trip began!
We got to JR's and had a great time picking out donuts. And
eating them. Then we piled back in the car and headed back
towards Athens. As we were approaching this one car, my sister
noticed that the driver had GIANT hair. She was about to
comment on how she must be on her way to church when we realized
she was a DRAG QUEEN! And so was her passenger! It was awesome!
I paced their car so Mer could snap a picture.
Back in Athens, the racers scarfed some donuts then headed
off for a couple of hours of riding. I headed back into town
to do some errands, and came back to the country for the
finish line festivities, and brought Rose.
It was a great prelude-to-spring sort of afternoon. We lounged
around in inner tubes on the sunny hillside, with glasses
of Blue Moon from the keg. Totally relaxing and nice. I can't
wait for spring to get here!
