Thursday was a long 62 mile day, hot and humid. But what a lovely ride it was. The Kruimers led the way for us from Edison to Point Pleasant, NJ. We headed east to the shore, and then with the cooler ocean air, headed south to our destination.
The route was gentle and scenic with the Henry Hudson Trail as one of the features. The Kruimers had a front tire flat, but the location was delightful. While the men changed the tire, we ladies sat in the shade and enjoyed the lovely sites to be seen. We were on our way in no time. We rode down the boardwalk through Asbury Park, a place I remember from my childhood. We had pizza and finished in Point Pleasant around 6:30.
Hanna added some excitement to our Friday ride. People were rushing to leave the shore. We had a leisurely 25 mile ride to our destination, Toms River, NJ. This is where we planned to see 94 year old uncle Izzie who calls himself Izadorable. We spent Saturday with Izzie and his family and shared a great meal. It was rainy and windy as Hanna was passing through.
When we checked into our hotel there was a package on the bed from our good friends, Erica and Ray, owners of our favorite bakery, Great Harvest Bread Company in Johns Creek, GA. They know us well and sent us some of our favorite items. Thank you so much! We will be enjoying them for the next few days.
Tommorow we head south, using a NJ state bike map to guide us toward Cape May. We will be waiting to see if Ike will mess with us. Hanna turned out to be just a rainy rest day while we ate and visited. Not bad timing....
