I can't remember if I posted about this or not, but I was grooving on the pictures from the Minnesota Headwaters of the Mississippi Ride and came across this one and I had to chuckle.
We were following TP and Nancy into Duluth, Minnesota after the Lutsen Alpine Slide Ride and I started to get a hunger pain. Well, that morning, Hotglue had shoved a Granola bar in my shirt pocket from the hotel and said, "Here is breakfast." I remembered it and pulled it out of my pocket. Now I am following Nancy on that sweet 750 Shadow she is piloting, so I have to keep my hand on the throttle to keep up. I pull it out with my left hand and use my gloved hand and my teeth to try and open this darn thing for about 10 miles. It was not meant to be opened with one gloved hand and your teeth. I finally get it open and MAN, DOES IT LOOK GOOD! I am not a fan of Granola, but this was a Quaker Cheewy - it was soft and had choco chips and everything. My mouth is drooling and right as I lift it to my face - WHOOSH! Half of it flys out of the wrapper and over my helmet. Gone! I quickly look at the wrapper so I know what it is for future reference because it sure looks good and wolf down what was left. Ok, now the funny part.
Laserpat and Texas Deb are behind me and he sees me playing with this wrapper for 10 miles and then sees part of it fly over my helmet. It landed on his knee and stuck! He is having hunger pains as well and picks it off his knee and looks at it. Just as he is about to take a bite, WHOOSH! Out of his hand it flys.
Well, we continued on to Duluth and checked out Bobby Dylan's home that he was raised in. We eat dinner in Duluth and then superslab it back to TP and Nancy's Casa (about 130 miles from Duluth). The next day, Laserpat takes Deb to the airport - because he is going to continue his vagabond journey and comes back to TP and Nancy's casa. This was a "wash cloths, jabberjaw, eat, clean your bike and enjoy awesome fellowship" kind of day. When Laserpat is washing his bike - guess what is stuck to his bags? Yep, you got it - the 200+ mile GRANOLA BAR!!!!!!!
After a fight, it was gone - and DAMN, IT WAS GOOD!!!!!
