How Far Would You Ride for Peanut Butter?

How about 144 Miles? Well the Peanut Butter Was actually just along for the Ride. I was getting Ready to Go for a Ride Today when the Wife mentioned that We were out of Peanut Butter. Murray State has been on Spring Break this Week and I knew Wal Mart and Kroger would be Crazy this Evening with the Kids Rolling Back into Town so I went Straight to Wal Mart and Grabbed the Jif and Put some $ on a Gas Card. I was Topping off the 850 at the Murphy Oil out Front When an Older Gentleman at the Next Island Commented "Sure is a Nice Day for a Ride Isn't it?' I Replied "Yes it Is' and He Said "I sure Do Miss Mine Sometimes!" He appeared to be in His Seventies which Made Me Think "Maybe I have at Least 20 Riding Years Left."

I didn't Have a Route in Mind so I set Out Looking For Some Curves which Required Going a few Miles North, then East, and Finally South. I then Proceeded South into Tennesse to Paris Landing State Park on Kentucky Lake. A Few Pasty White folks were About to get Really Sunburned at the Beach where this Pic was Taken as it was Almost 90* Today.

Then I crossed Kentucky Lake and Took a Quick Spin down Tennessee 232 AKA "The Little Dragon" for Some Twisty Fun. I came Back out on TN 79 and Headed to Fort Donelson National Park on the Banks of the Cumberland River. This Pic is Looking North up the Cumberland where the Confederate Canon Batteries were Positioned in 1862.

I left there and Headed Home by Way of the Land Between the Lakes. It was a Beautiful Day to Be Out and I saw Well over 100 Bikes of All Kinds as well as these Guys.

Finally it Was Back to Town to Top off the Bike. The Odometer Reading was 144 Miles. When I got Home I gave My Wife the Jif and Told Her She was Getting some Well Travelled Peanut Butter.:-D
 
LOL!! Hope the wife enjoyed the Jif as much as you enjoyed the ride!

We were supposed to hit 55* here today but instead didn't top 42, and it hovered more in the mid 30s all day. I had to work anyway, but geez... I am ready for some nice weather.
Nice pics! Hope the wife doesn't send you out for chicken or potato salad next time it's 90* and you feel like a ride!

I would go as far as your place for my peanut butter but it would have to be super crunchy.

Bren:-D
 
That looks like a great ride. It reminds me of one morning a couple years ago when I lived in Naples. I left the house telling the wife I was going to ride a bit, get a cup of coffee and return. I ended up in Key West having a cup of coffee. Key West was 242 miles one way. LOL

If You had Hit the End of the Pier with a Full Head of Steam You could have Had Coffee and a Cuban Cigar, IN CUBA!:shock: :-D
 
I found it amusing at times that I was so far south, I was closer to Cuba than I was to Orlando. :-)

I went about 400 miles trying to find Peter Pan peanut butters...no lluck at all. I'll pay good money to whoever can smuggle me a case...
 
Actually, I'd ride quite a ways to avoid peanut butter...

No sir, I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. [-(

We have to ride a good 60-80 miles around here to find anything resembling two curves in a row.
 
I'm fine with peanut butter and jelly. Its bread that I'm not big on. LOL

Now if we could just get Brian's wife to pack peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in his lunch bag. :-)

What is this "peanut butter" of which you all speak, hmm? :? And you'll ride far for it? I know there's some secret meaning and I'm being left out!
