Saturday 10/30/10 BIKING!

October 31, 2010
Saturday 10/30/10

It was a nice day so we thought we’d get a little bike ride in (26 miles)

after our morning stuff  & before our evening “stuff”…..

first stop before biking is the Ivyland general store to
grab quick sandwich – can’t bike with your
fuel tank on Empty
Cimg1875
inside the general store – it’s quite quaint.
It recently started opening on Saturdays.
The food is always good & they are super nice.
It’s always nice to support local businesses.

There is a puzzle you can work on while you wait

10/30/10 ~ on the bridge into Frenchtown –
almost finished our ride.

26 miles at 14 mph which is GREAT for me.
the ride was flat……..

we made a pit stop at the Bridge Cafe in Frenchtown, NJ
(8 miles away from our starting point)
Cimg1893
the gourds reminded me of geese!
Cimg1895
the coveted home-made Vanilla donut….. we shared….
since we only rode 26 miles we didn’t feel we
each deserved one….

I HAD to try this ice tea/lemonade –
bc it was ALL POSITIVE —

Ed & Joanne —-

friends we made at Bull’s Island – where we started (& ended)

our ride. We found out they lived near us & wanted to

get more involved with biking so we gave them

our bike club info.  By chance – anyone know them???

house near the farmer’s market where we went after biking

The farmer’s market in Stockton is a good
1/2 hour from our house but it is right on the way
home from biking so we always stop.
We are TRYING to buy local, non-processed food!
Gotta start somewhere!

Reasons to Buy Local Food

Locally grown food tastes better.

Local food supports local farm families.

Local food builds community.

Local food preserves open space.

Doesn’t it make YOU want to ride your bike too?

We always see awesome “stuff” & meet lots of people.

and it’s not such a bad way to get exercise!
