Vacation Week in Review

We spent 11 days at the shore, and I completed about 150 miles. The weather wasn't very cooperative at the beginning of the trip and we were doing a lot of running, so the miles for the week were a bit low. We did a couple of local trips around Lewes (first picture), a few trips to Rehoboth, and a ride over to Milton, De. We also rode the bikes to the Ferry and went to Cape May. (second picture)

Cape May was nice, but we are happy that we bought in Delaware. It is a much slower pace. We rode down to the Cape May lighthouse and ate outside at the mad batter. It was very good. I got a flat tire on the way back, so we missed the ferry.

We saw the fireworks at Rehoboth on the 4th. We took the bus from Lewes, which wasn't bad, except we missed the bus on the way back and had to wait a hour in the rain for the next one. We also went to a Delmarva Shore Birds minor league baseball game which was a lot of fun. We had great seats and got in for $5 for both of us and got 10 free Wawa coffee coupons because the game went into extra innings. We also did the Jimmy Grill's 5K in Dewey Beach. I finished in the top half. They had fried chicken and beer afterwards at 8:30 in the morning.

On the last day of the week, Holly participated in the American Cancer Society bike ride in Philly as part of the Ikon team. She did over 60 miles in less than 5 hours.
