Free coffee was the draw for my wife to come together with me to spectate the Alterra Coffee Bean Classic. Keeping her company kept me out of the woods but we did hike up the ski hill for the view.
While the Alterra label reigned supreme in Franklin on Sunday, their riders already sporting their new Colectivo kits, their coffee stand in the Mayfair Mall is no more. They lost out to Starbucks who holds down three locations in the mall. Our neighbor told my wife that Alterra also opened a new location next to a Stone Creek Coffee some time back. Stone Creek is another local coffee purveyor.
I was actually a classmate of one of the founders of Alterra Coffee. Our schools alumni are sometimes called in jest ‘The Marquette High Mafia’. The mayor is also an alumni. From my perspective it is a network for the dissipation of false and defamatory stereotypes with far reaching ramifications. I would be remiss to suggest any true coffee scandal beyond aggressive business practices but something’s brewing.
Tonight is the Odd Tuesday Ride and it will be at the Alpha Trail. You can ride some of the trails from Sunday’s race and catch some views of the gravity park and its features. 6:00 – 8:00pm, bring your own meat for the grill.
Another baseball view of The Rock. Though they had a couple of games going, the overflow parking appeared sufficient, at least when we got there.
Now for the $28 question: What color was my first bicycle? See rules on charity jackpot page in sidebar.
