Ocean to Bay Bike Ride


Beautiful weather and very light winds made for a great Ocean to Bay ride. We arrived early and actually had to wait for registration to open. We averaged about 14.2 for 35 miles. We actually added an extra 6 miles at the end. We regretted not doing the 50 mile ride. We rode up route 1 from Bethany to Fenwick Island and moved inland on Route 54. From there it was miles of country and quiet roads. Our second rest stop was up at Holts Landing National Park. We rode the final 10 miles east through Millville and back to Bethany Beach.

I did get a flat caused by a large nail. I replaced the tube, but I didn't have a pump. A cyclist stopped and helped. He was from Bethany Cycle - they have 2 shops in Bethany and Rehoboth. Please support them if you are in the area.

Well, we are off to beach to relax. There will be pictures shortly.
