While on a recent ride in a setting reminiscent of Maybury RFD a very large Farmers Market takes place just as it does every week. What we’ve noticed over time is how its popularity gradually grows to where there is now a lot more than just a few booths here and there. While on a training ride on the West Orange Trail I ended in the downtown area that if it were in black and white I’d be looking for Sheriff Andy Griffith, Barney Fife, and of course Opie Taylor while expecting to smell Aunt Bee’s apple pies. But, everything was in full color as I ran across a colorful parrot ready to show his colors. My recent rides have accumulated over 160 comfortable miles as I’m keeping the body in shape for my upcoming Century ride. To date I’m at 6,649 total miles on my virtual tour around the world with my next waypoint being Wake Island in 792 miles. I wish I could actually stop and check out the history of such an important island.
