Saturday 8/14/10
Instead of playing volleyball today we are BIKING!
Biking at the shore is FUN for me b/c it’s FLAT!
I am NOT a lover of the hills…..
The plan is to ride from Bill & Robin’s house in Sea Isle City (SIC)
to Atlantic City. ( 40 miles round trip)
|
|
Ready to embark on BIKE ADVENTURE….
pair of shoes #2…….

|
|
We did not see any Turtles crossing the road.
False advertising?
|
|
|
|
Our first city we biked to was STRATHEMERE –
4 miles from SIC
|
|
|
|
|

We arrived in Ocean City
(8 miles from Strathmere, 12 from SIC)
—————————————————————————————-
some of you already know that my family used to own a beach house
in Ocean City & lived there for about 30 years. My dad sold the house
about 7 years ago & the first thing the developer did was tear it down.
I wanted to do a drive by of our old house that wasn’t’ there anymore.
In it’s place is a fancy new duplex.
|
|
|
|
That’s where our old house used to be. I’m sure the
new duplexes are super nice but it’s still sad
to see the old house GONE. Lots of memories there!
As I was taking the picture the new owners
struck up a conversation with us & of course
I told them I used to live in the house that
was there before…..
|
|
|
|
John & Susan the new owners — were SUPER NICE.
John ran inside the house to get a picture of our old house
they had hanging on their wall .
|
|
|
|
there she is. 4 bedroom brick home.
yellow awnings…. loved it there!
We probably spent about 15 minutes chatting with
John & Susan…. then it was time to pedal on!

view from the Longport – ocean city bridge.
That’s a dog beach where dogs can run free.
You’re looking at Longport, Margate, Ventor & AC

|
|
|
We arrived safely in LONGPORT, NJ.
OC to Longport is 4 miles, SIC to Longport 16 miles
|
|
|
|
Margate is right next to Longport – just one mile!
(SIC to Margate = 17 miles)

LUCY the Elephant is a big attraction in Margate.
I love how they have the Elephant Butt saying WELCOME!

the beach in Margate was BUSY!

that’s just 2 miles over from Margate.
(19 miles from SIC)

Time to turn around & head back.
