So the Fourth is rapidly approaching and I have to decide if we are going to take the bike to the Fireworks or to take the car.
On one hand we both love riding the bike and it would make parking a lot easier downtown.
On the other hand there are some bad points.
A) All of the drunks on the roads.
B) Heavy traffic after the fireworks.
C) We'll be dodging the fireworks being set off by people along the route home.
D) We'll be close to the Gross Weight of the bike.
Oh and the festivities for us will be starting at around noon, as will the eating. I have just finished Par Boiling the Ribs with Garlic, Onion, Paprika and Chipotle Peppers. Once the ribs were pulled out they were gently and lovingly rubbed with a mix of freshly minced Garlic and crushed Chipotle Peppers. When they had cooled enough they were tenderly wrapped in plastic and stored in the back of the fridge. On the Fourth the smoker will be fired up nice and early, (roughly 0600.) and the ribs eased into it. They will be done right around noon.
The festivities will continue downtown later in the day. After a short nap we will head downtown to the street party. This year the food and music theme is South American so we will be graced with plenty of Hispanic style foods and some great music before the fireworks. (Our fair little city always puts on a good show.)
So the question remains, shall we be taking the bike or the car?
