We are truly blessed!<\/p>\n

If our biggest problem is being stuck in a hotel room waiting for a bike part and whining about it…..we are one of the lucky ones! \u00a0We reflect on where we were exactly a year ago and how far we have come. \u00a0Then we consider what people face in their day to day lives that are monumental, to the little inconvenience we experienced. \u00a0We have our health and the ability and resources to do these tours; sorry to all that we complained to.<\/p>\n

Our ducky doctor, Jason,\"\"<\/a> at Village Cycle<\/a>\u00a0was amazing. \u00a0He started working on the bikes as soon as the part arrived this morning, added a few important tweaks and had our duckies purring. While we waited, we browsed an amazing old fashioned hardware store,\"\"<\/a> S.F. Travis Company, est. 1885; like stepping back in time.<\/p>\n

All loaded up, we pushed away at 11:30 this morning, usually about the time we are winding up our daily ride. \u00a0We missed three cool days of biking, but were ecstatic to be back on the road and moving forward.<\/p>\n

Our ride started on the shaded waterfront road\"\"<\/a> filled with beautiful homes,\"\"<\/a> that we had backtracked on Saturday. \u00a0The views\"\"<\/a> and shade\"\"<\/a> lasted less than eight miles and then we were out on Route 1.<\/p>\n

The day had gotten hot as we rode the highway with no shade to protect us.\"\"<\/a> \u00a0We had planned on a stop at about twenty miles, but did not want fast food. \u00a0In historic Titusville,\"\"<\/a>\u00a0we found the perfect\u00a0lunch stop. \"\"<\/a>\u00a0Little did we know, that this\u00a0darling cafe\u00a0<\/a>would have such amazing food.\"\"<\/a> \u00a0Worth a stop if you are ever anywhere<\/em> close.<\/p>\n

Our long stretch of road was peppered with small areas of civilization\"\"<\/a> and miles of trees and sparse farms.\"\"<\/a> \u00a0It was not long before our feet were baking in the heat radiating from the pavement. \u00a0We stopped as often as we could find a bit of shade to try to cool ourselves\"\"<\/a> in the searing heat.<\/p>\n

Fifty two miles complete, we pulled into our hotel exactly at 5:00; it had been a hot ride and we were happy to tuck inside air conditioning.<\/p>\n

Dinner was going to be a half mile away in either direction, but Cheryl at the hotel recommended Alberto’s Pizzeria<\/a>.\"\"<\/a> \u00a0This third generation restaurant, Sicilian immigrants opened their first restaurant in Pennsylvania and since moved to Florida, is Amazing. \"\"<\/a>\u00a0Today was a wonderful gastronomic experience.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
