Moskowite Corner
Mon, 10/23/2006 - 8:46pm
To all cyclist that ride to Moskowite Corner...
Last Saturday my wife, friend and myself left Davis to ride
out to the Lake Hennessey and back. From Davis the last stop
for us, is Moskowite Corner. It has been for years. We went into
the store bought a couple of Gatorades, and went to the bathroom
to fill our water bottles. Nothing said we rode on. On the way back
we stopped again to take care of business and top off. A couple
of Gatorades, and as my wife went to fill her water bottles the NEW
owner or manager told her she could not get any water... Now
we top off using the Bathroom faucets. He said he is tired of
cyclists using the bathrooms and getting free water? I know this is
the hub for West bound and East bound riders...Has anyone else
run into this problem...Did we just catch him on a bad day!
Mad Axeman that is good. Lets all go there and make sure we get the point across. Hell I'll go today
It's probably because cyclist are like no other human on this planet. We don't consume food, drinks, beer, or wine. We don't buy anything from convient stores, ever, even when not cycling.
As matter of fact, we don't make enough money to afford gas for our cars, oil, or antifreeze (aka items sold at convience stores).
So I can certainly see his point... WHEN I AM SMOKING CRACK!
Make it point to go in there sometime when you are not on the bike and the owner is there. Dress well and pick up several of the items listed above have the owner ring them up. Then, just before you hand him the money ask him how he feels about cyclist that stop at his establishment mid ride for water.
When he goes off, put the money back in your pocket, leave all the poducts on the counter and walk out.
