Sunday 10/2/11
Today we were planning on doing the “volunteer ride” with our Bike Club.
Many of the members volunteer the day of the ride so they can’t ride
the day of the Covered Bridge Ride. Plus we get to check the road
markings & make sure everything will be good for next week.
You still have time to register!!!

|
Our first stop was HERE to fuel up for the ride.
Our neighbor owns the store so we like supporting him
I never knew it was a Guatemalan Bakery!!
It’s a new sign – he recently bought the place.

|
WALK YOUR BIKE……
We ended up bailing on the club ride & doing our own ride instead.
We hope to ride the 34 mile HILLY ride next week.
Today we rode 32 miles, not so hilly ride.

Michael & friend Adam…. walking their bikes!
|
|
|
|
we made a stop at an Asian grocery store.
I was intrigued with their trash system….
yes, just cut a whole in the sink!!
|
|
|
|
a photo I took on the fly…..
the skies were NOT looking friendly & we later learned
others on the 34 miler had to cut it short & only
road 19 miles. When I heard that I was
REALLY happy about our decision to do
a different ride.

We came upon THIS at Bulls Island, NJ —
it was practice for a Search & Rescue team
|
|
|
|
|
It was pretty cool to watch
|
|
|
|
|
all I kept thinking was WOW that water HAS to be cold!!
|
|
|
|
|
Ominous skies yet still gorgeous views

Michael walking on foot bridge leading from NJ to PA

Adam racing back Tinicum Park where we started riding.
On the right is a Blue Heron – it is hard to see but
I know it’s there so I can see it!!

|
|
Michael pedaling to the park
(wonder how MY butt looks on the bike??)
|
|
|
|
we made a pit stop in Stockton (Phillips Fine Wines)
and I HAD to get this picture…..
is this gate keeping things out or in??

name tag on a bottle of Founder’s Beer……

|
It was a CHILLY day & I wanted to toast up.
When we got home I lit our first fire for the season.
It was funny seeing Weasel getting weaseled…..
She was laying on the dog bed soaking up the
warmth of the fire & Chester nonchalantly came up
& laid on the dog bed between Weasel & the fire.

EXPERIENCE BEING ALIVE…..
