Saturday Morning Bike Ride

By Barbara Groark

Speaking of the Saturday morning of the reunion weekend, Mike LaRocco has suggested a bike ride on the boardwalk and around the town of Ocean City – no big surprise there – only he also wants to make it a triathlon of sorts, with some beach jogging and a dip in the ocean, total immersion. In October. Same temperature as June, he says.

Would there be any interest on the part of weekenders in any part of that? If so, put your bikes on your bike racks and pack helmets, and contact him through any of the committee members or his name on the blog email list. I think we have some old road racers of old, don’t we? Janet Sanford? Also, we will be investigating bike rental places for those who are flying in and want to join.

Me, I have an old single-speed boardwalk ‘cruiser’ with an extra-wide seat and a basket on the handle-bars, definitely for leisurely rides on boardwalks and other flat, South Jersey surfaces. I will probably wave the more ambitious goodbye at the end of the boardwalk and head back to the hotel and save my energy for dancing later. A nice nap might be good. Or a book by a sunny window.

I was trying to work in a reason for including the following two links in this blog, but there is no reason for their inclusion here other than that these Netherlanders look like two high school kids who should be doing their homework, or the dishes, but instead are lip-synching for the YouTube audience. How much more time could we ourselves have wasted back in high school, if we only had these things then. Just some kids kidding around. As kids should do. By the way, I’m still looking for karaoke interest.
