As you know, today is Cinco de Mayo.
To commemorate the Mexican victory over France at the battle of Puebla (Yes, that's what this holiday is about!), I'm going for a ride.
First, I have to choose a bike. This looks like a good candidate:
Everyone knows you can't ride properly without the right outfit. Now, since lycra hadn't been invented at the time of Puebla--and wouldn't look right with this bike--I'm thinking of more traditional garb:
Of course, the right outfit isn't complete without the right shoes:
and headgear:
Of course, riding while holding off les militaires burns up lots of calories. So, in the lovely pannier on the bike, I'll pack some of these:
At the end of the ride I'll have a proper Pueblana repast:
Feliz Cinco de Mayo, Amigas y Amigos!
