Hey, Charles - Both are good options. I'm a little intimidated by how busy Panera is in the morning, but I've only been there on weekdays. The parking lot right in front gets a little hairy at times.
The Starbucks on Kildaire is one of my favorite spots. It just takes a little bit longer to get to the good roads.
Don't get me wrong - there are disadvantages to Bruegger's too. So, if we don't like it tomorrow, we can always relocate to some other lucky place of business - who wouldn't want us to loiter in their lobby? We're very nice and awfully stylish...

Thanks, Manil. First the B&B closes. Now Dell's selling the GT3. I'm going to need more than a cup of coffee at this rate of change!
I've prepared myself for anything else that comes up later this morning - like maybe Charles, Michael or John pulling into Bruegger's in Ferraris!

Our first experience with the Apex Bruegger's was only mediocre. While the location wasn't bad, there were some drawbacks...
- The Bruegger's manager/owner wanted to know how long we would be there (even though the restaurant was almost entirely carry-out business and very few in-store customers)
- There were at least 3 Harris Teeter 18-wheelers cruising through that part of the parking lot at that hour of the morning.
- The coffee was only so-so; disappointing considering Green Mountain makes some incredible coffees. It just wasn't fresh.
But, we had a great drive after we left Bruegger's. Michael led Charles, Manil, John, Alex and me through the Apex countryside to our favorite scenic routes. It was a great day to be out driving a Porsche.
Here's a link to the photos.
NEXT WEEK: We'll be at the Panera in Cary - Cary Pkwy in the same mall with Stonewood and Ginza restaurants.

Anybody know the story on Bean & Bagel? I kinda liked that place, good coffee, good food, good people, and, everything else being equal, I'd rather support a local owner....

We all agreed this morning, Ken. No idea what happened. It's a shame.
If you have any recommendations in the Cary/Apex area, we should check it out before next Saturday.
Let me know.

I agree. How shocked do you think they were when they were pulled over, and then passed by 6 Porsches that were right behind the police car?
Even though they probably knew they weren't supposed to be riding 3 wide, and even though we were pretty well-behaved, I speculate that the dialogue after we passed sounded something like this:
Policeman: "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
Bicyclist: "Yup. About 7 miles per hour. Uh..Did you happen to notice the 6 Porsches that passed you? And you still opted to pull over 3 bicyclists? WHAT THE HELL???!!!"
See you next Saturday.

Saturday morning coffee and run
Bob, hope you enjoyed NJ, my home state. Sorry I missed the gathering the last 2 weeks, was on a cruise to Alaska. Where are we meeting this coming Saturday? As info, there is also a Bean & Barrel up Farrington Rd, across from Governors Club in the Food Lion complex. Good, safe parking and close to some good runs. Coffee was good last time there, will check out the other offerings. May bring the Boxster this week. Kudos to Dell on his 2:03 run at VIR, great video.
thanks
Rich

Hey, Rich. Sorry for the delayed response - I was away for a meeting. So, I'm very envious that you were able to cruise in Alaska. My in-laws are taking a cruise there in a couple weeks.
We decided to meet at the Panera in Cary on Cary Parkway. There is a Ginza and Stonewood in the same shopping center. Inside-Out Running store is also in that shopping center. I'll be there around 7:30.
The parking lot is huge, and it's easy to find. See you there!
