Ride to Rehoboth with Paul and Teresa

We rode out to Rehoboth Beach with Paul and Teresa. We left them at the boards and Holly and I continued on towards Bethany. On the way back, we gave them a quick tour of Lewes. Paul almost ran over a snake on the bike path. It rose its head as if was going to attack him, but it thought better of it and scurried into the woods.

Holly and I did about 36 miles and completed over 200 miles for May.

Quick Ride to Rehoboth

In the late afternoon, we just did a quick ride out to Rehoboth Beach to walk the boards. I did manage to avoid the Thrashers French Fries. We did a total of 19 miles.

We did our real exercise in the morning with our first 5K run at the Bottle and Cork bar at Dewey Beach. They had a party afterwards with Free Beer and Breakfast Food. We were happy with our times. Here are the results. We both finished in top 3/5 of the runners.

Cape Henlopen State Park and Breakwater Trail

We rode out to Cape Henlopen State Park and over to the Junction and Breakwater Trail. I was little worried about the quality of the trail and us having road bikes. But, it wasn't bad, it was about a 3 mile trail that took you out to a road which led you right into the Route 1B in Rehoboth. We are only a couple of miles from the trail. As long as you can dodge the kids and amatuer cyclists, you have easy access to Rehoboth.

We did about 28 miles with an average around 12.5.

Slaughter Beach (Saturday May 24th)

We rode from our Lewes home up Route 1 to Slaughter Beach. The wind was against us the entire way up, but it was not bad as it usually is. Whenever I forget my camera, I try and find a picture that is related to our bike ride. This is where they dump old subway cars and drop them into the ocean off slaughter beach. You can read it about here .

We did a total of 38 miles with an average around 13.

Windy Fleetwood Ride

We started at Fleetwood High School and had an easy ride out towards Premise Maid candies. We did not take the ride down the hill to the candy shop. The wind started to really pick up and it felt like it was going to rain. We headed back against a very strong wind. We had an average of 14.5 going out, but our total average for the trip ended up being only 12.8. We did a total of 31.8 miles. After a slow start to May, we have started to pick it up and it looks like we may be able to salvage the month, if the weather holds up.

Oley Ride (Thursday May 15th)

We did a quick ride from Oley UCC Church down to Daniel Boone.

Miles - 15

Velodrome Ride

We did another ride out to the Velodrome starting at the Kutztown park. It was a windy day and a little cool. We got an early start, so you almost see as many horse and buggies on the road going to church as you do cars. This church looked pretty full. Here is an Amish FAQ site to answer all of your questions.

32 Miles with an average of 13.5

Forest Ridge Ride (Wed May 7th)

Holly had to work late, so I ventured on my own from the house. This was actually last Wednesday. I am a little late posting. I rode down to main street in Oley and around our usual routes. It was a beautiful night. This picture was taken off the road back up towards our development. It is about a 3 mile climb back. This was the easy road.

The total was 18 miles and I averaged almost 13.
