19 Oct.
After a ride to Lewes, where we dropped off our panniers at the excellent Island Canal Inn, we took off for Milford, in some heavy rain. We rode for 25 miles or more in the rain.
It was horrible. Heavy traffic, could not see, my glasses were covered in dirt and water, it was dangerous, it was wet, it was cold being wet for hours. It was maybe one of the worse rides ever. .
It was wonderful. Strong tail wind, great wide bike lane, intermittent rain, zooming fast, no traffic lights, no panniers so very easy.
The gentle reader can guess the author of each paragraph.
Now onto food items.
I remember JFK and Bob's BBB is JFK incarnate. Is white but pretends not to be; is chewy and healthy – makes one feel good without any effort.
The picture is one of failed fusion. Bow tie pasta??? Thought the ya in Jambalaya meant rice. QB rightly called it Presbétarian Jambalaya.
The beer, we had two, was Dog Head. Excellent, local to Delaware.
The ride to Lewes was one long Outlet mall. Over 130 brand names. At least three large strip malls in 12 miles. Delaware has no tax on food, or clothing (or dinner or beer or coffee). Even has reduced taxes for Seniors. Must have been financed by the DuPont monies.
The biking adventure part now ends. Just over 500 miles, mostly good weather with some very stong winds and excellent nature and of course the seafood. In some ways this should have been called the Barrier Islands trip as we traversed those on the Atlantic side. Maybe this is why Dee did not recognize the city and town names.
Next, a rest day and then picking up George and Michelle for the ride to New Hope and then NYC.
