Gorgeous Day For A Bike Ride!oly

What a gorgeous day in Lancaster County with lower humidity, lots of sunshine, and a high of only 81 degrees.  What a perfect day for a bike ride!

We were up by 6:45 and had a good breakfast on our balcony!  What a good way to start the day.  After putting air in the bike tires we were on our way to Gary and Marcia's to go together for a bike ride.  Sam and Kathy also met us there and the 6 of us left at 10 for the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail parking at the center of the trail at Riverfront Park.  We rode from there to Bainbridge on this fairly new trail.  It was a great ride.

Currently there are areas along the trail where the corn is growing on both sides making it lush and green but hard to see the river.  As you go farther down the trail it opens up to the river and you are able to see a huge eagle nest.  It is an easy ride on macadam.  We rode about 8 miles getting back to the Riverfront Park around noon. 

Lots of corn along the trail.

Some nicely wooded areas!

Then under the bridge with a great view of the Susquehanna!

The large eagles nest!

We spotted a blue heron along the river!

Many different types of scenery along the trail!

A Beautiful stone bridge!

We loaded the bikes and drove to Columbia to the John Wright Store and Restaurant where we were able to eat outside along the Susquehanna River.  What a gorgeous setting and delicious food.  Ken and I were the only ones in the group who had not been there before.  

A great place to eat and the factory where they make armetale products!

Our special friends, Gary and Marcia!

More special friends, Sam and Kathy!

We had such a good time!

What a view overlooking the Susquehanna River!

We are a fun bunch of people!!!!

Sam and Kathy had to be home around 2 so we parted ways after lunch.  Ken and I drove to the newly opened Moe's Southwest Grill in Lititz.  Today they were offering free burritos for a year to the first 75 people who arrived there from 11 to 3, and then free T-Shirts and a complete meal to anyone else who came during those 4 hours.  Ken and I got there at 2:25 and still had to wait in line for about 45 minutes.  We did get a free meal with a drink, but they were out of T-shirts.  An interesting fast food restaurant where you order and then go down a "line" selecting like you do at Subway the toppings you would like on your burrito, salad, quesadilla, tacos, etc.  We took the meal home for dinner!

We arrived home at 3:30 and took a short walk to the downtown area of Lititz. Then over to Polly's house to store our bikes in her basement and retrieve our canopy for when we go to Polo this Sunday with our family.  It is supposed to be very hot and humid! 

We ate our delicious meal from Moe's and then spent the evening watching TV.  What a fun day shared with friends!
