Jonesin'

I've been jonesin' to complete my sixth and last 100K for the Virtual Brevet Series.  Yesterday I met my goal.  My ride was a loop southward to Jones County.  I was going to get a picture of the county line sign, but someone stole it!

I started with a visit to the Monticello farmers market on the square, which opened last weekend, a little late this year due to COVID-19.  Between being outside, masks, and keeping at least 6' distance, it seemed adequately safe.  I was jonesin' for a fried pie from my friend Laverne.

L-R: sweet potato, peach, and apple fried pies
I got a peach one (my favorite!) and a sweet potato one.  Sweet potato is also excellent, and she doesn't make those as often.  I dropped off the fried pies at my office, which is just off the square, to pick up later.  While I was there, I hugged Ashes the World's Best Office Cat.  She hugged me back.


After completing the loop portion of my lollipop route, I headed back north.  Jonesin' for some water, I stopped by the outdoor spigot at the Georgia Forestry Commission building on Highway 11.  I also snapped a photo with Smokey Bear.


I could have headed straight home and had 100K, but I rode a little farther back into town because I was jonesin' for a Wonder Woman Cookie Collision Blizzard (with chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate cookie dough, and fudge).  I rode my bicycle through the drive-through because the dining room still isn't open.


I pulled over under a shady tree to enjoy my treat.

Already a little melt-y after just a few minutes!  Still delish.
While I ate my Blizzard, I listened to the theme song from the Wonder woman TV show.  There were some great TV theme songs back in the day.

Coincidentally, a few days after I planned my ride, complete with Wonder Woman Blizzard, I saw a great post in A Mighty Girl, a page I follow on Facebook.  It showed this picture of stunt double Jeannie Epper with actress Lynda Carter from the Wonder Woman TV show.


Jeannie Epper was a trailblazer.  At the time (late '70s), it was still common for me to be stunt doubles for women.

In case you're wondering, I do my own stunts.
