Bike Fairies

You never know what you are going to find on a bike ride. I have seen a lot of weird NJ and strange stuff in other surrounding states but this past Saturday we encountered some bike fairies. Now we were in Lahaska so this is can be a strange and artsy place but these people definitely stood out. 

Unfortunately these fairies didn't have any magical powers to grant us a wish they were just having a final ride before one of their friends moved away. They never did explain why they chose to wear tutus for this celebration but it made for a fun encounter. The only problem was there were 15 of them and they got to the cupcake shop right before us so we had to wait in line with them for a while before we got our food. 

It didn't really matter as it was a nice sunny day and we were in no real hurry. We taken the easy way from Yardley to Lahaska and didn't mind the long break. The return ride was just as nice although I need to find a better road than Stoopville on the way back as it had more traffic than I like. 

Saturday's ride was a good end to the week as we had a few days of summer weather and I was able to get out a couple of time. I even managed to get a few people to join me on a ride from Manasquan to Belmar and back.

 

One of the good things about being retired is that I can get out whenever the weather is good and can usually get a few of the other retired folks to join me. It's still early in the season so the beach wasn't too crowded. At our usual rest stop the Dunkin Donuts is closed for renovation and only the pizza place was open so there wasn't a lot of choice for food but it was enough. 

The brief break of summer weather was great but it is still April so the weather is running hot and cold. We had a freeze warning this week with some rain in the forecast but the weather is warming so there should be some fun and weird rides ahead.
