More biking

We normally do a 10 mile loop around Oriental.  Today, we decided to go to Minnesott Beach instead. 

That is a little over 20 miles round-trip!  The plan was that, just for fun, we would ride to the ferry station, board the short ferry, rest a little and take the ferry back to Minnesott.


Unfortunately, the ferry only runs every hour now (it used to run every 1/2 hour)....so the total ferry round-trip was going to be over 2 hours for us.  We decided it wasn't worth spending that much time.....so we headed back to Oriental.  A good, long ride!

Sounds like fun...riding at the beach is always fun...it's pretty flat.....and there's almost always a breeze...

Love,

Do you keep bikes at home AND at Oriental?? Don't think you can transport them in the plane. MOM

Hey Mom, yes, we have bikes at both places! the bikes at Oriental are fold-up (full size) and we store them in the mini-van at New Bern for our use when we're at Oriental. I can't believe I didn't post about that!! We store them in the van because the salt air would rust them if we left them outside at the marina. They've been in the van for about 2 years now and they are in perfect condition. Really, I can't believe I didn't post about it!!!! I'll take a photo of them in the van and show you. Duane, of course, made the structure that holds them in place.

Love, K
