Another Oley Ride


We had to get up early and do another morning ride in Oley, because we had a baby shower to go to in the afternoon. We saw a bunch of turkey vultures in the field. We did about 18 miles. The baby shower was at the Allentown Brew Works . There was actually a bicycle race going on that day. The race was not just outside the bar, but it went through the bar. It is called the Tour De Brew. I am thinking about joining the race next year.

Fleetwood - Kutztown Ride (Aug 23rd)

We got out early and did a quick ride past Kutztown. School was starting up, so traffic was bad. We rode about 24 miles.

Oley (August 21st)

Holly was away, so I did a ride in Oley, but I got a flat about 3 miles from home. I changed the flat no problem, but I had the wrong Co2 adaptor. Someone on a bike stopped, so and had a Co2 and adaptor. I ended up doing only 10 miles.

Thun Trail (Aug 20th)

I got out the hybrid and did about 18 miles on the Thun Trail. I rode from Reading to Birdsboro, but I couldn't find where the trail picked up again in Birdsboro, so I returned home.

Lewes Ride (Aug 17th)

Just a quick ride around Lewes. We did 17 miles.

Rehoboth to Ocean City Maryland (Aug 16th)


We parked behind the CVS at Rehoboth Beach and rode down Route 1 to Ocean City Maryland. We probably could have gone further, but the traffic in Ocean City started to get a little bit too much. We rode down past where we use to rent in Ocean City on the bay at 116th street where the Greene Turtle is.

We did a total of 46 miles and it was not bad.

Quick Fleetwood Ride (Aug 13th)

We didn't have much time during the week, but we did a quick ride out from Fleetwood towards Kutztown and back. 14.5 miles.

Preston and Payton Weekend (Aug 9-10th)



Okay, I dusted off the hybrid and did a couple of short rides with the boys. One day we went around the five points. It was a bit too bumpy for Payton. Also, I took them around the bike trail at Cape Henlopen State park. I biked to the Lewes beach so we wouldn't have too take 2 cars.

I did a total of 15 miles in the two days.

Bowers to Mertztown (July 28th)

It was a few weeks, but we got back on our bikes and did a ride to Mertztown (about 28 miles)
