My 25-Mile Bike Ride From Sea Isle City to Ocean City

Author Matty Cord

The other day, I had a nice 25-mile bike ride down at the Jersey shore all the way from Sea Isle City to Ocean City with my girlfriend Pattyann!

It was nice to be down the shore this past weekend, it was not too crowded yet and we had nice weather for the most part.

It was like the calm before the storm coming this weekend with Memorial Day Weekend approaching.

I am sure it will be packed down there, whether it be Sea Isle City, Ocean City, Wildwood, or whatever other beach town you can think of!

 

While riding my bike through Ocean City, I rode by a nice gentleman named Armando!

What caught my eye about Armando was this really cool hat he was wearing, so I decided to make a comment about how much I liked his hat and that led to a conversation where we chatted for a bit!

One thing led to another and he ended up inviting Pattyann and I over to his house later to give me a hat just like his from Italy!

After that, we ended up having a nice lunch with Armando and his wife, Maryann, too!

Full of espresso, homemade biscottis, Italian red wine, and a nice after-lunch drink called Averna.

Everything that was served was amazing and I can’t thank Armando enough for the hospitality and the cool hat!

Sometimes it works out when you go out of your way to compliment someone!

Thanks to Pattyann for grabbing a lot of the pictures of all of us!

To end our day, we stopped by the Deauville Inn in Strathmere, right over the bridge from Ocean City.

It is a bar and restaurant right on the water and on a nice day out, you can’t beat it.

Plus, they have free valet service and even watched our bikes on the rack while we enjoyed ourselves.

It was the perfect way to end a good day — enjoying a gorgeous sunset on the water!

I can’t wait for the summer!

Behind The Scenes Working The Taylor Swift Philadelphia Concert

What a Show!

Over the weekend, a few concerts took place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday down at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philly.

It was a tiny artist that not too many people know about, and there definitely were not close to 100,000 people in and outside the stadium enjoying each show.

And by that, I mean the BIGGEST artist in the world currently and there were absolutely that many people surrounding the Linc and in their seats enjoying the show!

Yes, Taylor Swift was in town over the weekend and it was quite the spectacle!

I was actually in attendance for the show on Saturday night with my niece, Lily!

She is actually a part of the event staff for all of the Eagles games and also works a few select concerts taking place at the Linc!

And you know she was not going to miss Taylor!

I got to walk in the tunnel with her and clock in and then it was right to her post at the Pepsi Plaza!

Lily was super helpful to all the concertgoers assisting plenty of Swifties to their seats and giving them guidance throughout the stadium!

The event itself was incredible!

I got to see the merch first hand that people were lining up by the hundreds for on Thursday — a full day and a half before any of the shows even started!

Taylor put on an amazing show for all the people that were fortunate enough to be in the building and even thousands more outside who just wanted to hear their favorite artist sing.

If you haven’t seen the videos by now, thousands upon thousands of Taylor Swift die-hard fans surrounded the stadium singing their favorite songs and enjoying the show from outside!

I have never seen anything like that in all my years in the music industry!

Overall, I had an amazing time with Lily and I’m glad she got to work one of the shows!
