Over the weekend, Pattyann and I were running around to a lot of different places and it was quite an eventful couple of days. Particularly, on Saturday when we made a couple of different stops around the city!

As you all know by now, I love my bike rides and I’ll jump at any opportunity to take part in one. Whether it is just with friends or an organized event, you can count me in if I can make it.

Well, Saturday was no different. We rode in the 14th annual Philly Naked Bike Ride! It was a little over 13 miles around the city of Philadelphia, and it was a ride for a cause. The thing we wanted to shine a light on was to promote cycling as a major form of transportation.

Overall, it is actually more of a very slow-paced ride with close to 1,000 bike riders showing support for the cause. There had to be at least ten different times during the ride that we had to hop off our bikes and walk our bicycles — especially when we hit the narrow streets.

For the most part during the Philly Naked Bike Ride, we had perfect weather. Maybe a little hot at some points, but, then again, most people did not have clothes on to sweat through anyway!

We also saw familiar faces along the way! About halfway through the ride, we met up with Jimmy Sutcliffe, who works for Live Nation. Then after the Philly Naked Bike Ride, we had some food with Mike Jerrick from Fox 29 at El-Vez. It was a great meal and even better catching up with some buddies.

In the end, the ride was great and hopefully, it brings awareness to the cause. If I had one critique for the Philly Naked Bike Ride going forward, I would recommend that they make helmets mandatory. I was amazed how many riders didn’t have one on, especially for a ride advocating for safe riding.

Ultimately, it was still a very fun day at the Philly Naked Bike Ride, though!

Over the last week, I did a lot of fun things while away from the WMGK studio. As I wrote about yesterday, I was down the shore for a bit in New Jersey and had a great meal over at Twisties Tavern on the Bay. However, the Jersey Shore was not the only place I visited on vacation.

The other place I went definitely some similarities to the Jersey Shore, like, sharing the same ocean and all, but there are also some cool differences at this place. If you have not guessed by now, I also hit up Rehoboth and Dewey this week!

I love the Delaware beach towns and overall there is a totally different feel to them than that of the Jersey Shore towns – but don’t get me wrong, I love both and each has their own unique characteristics about them!

While there, we took a nice 30-mile bike ride around Lewes, Cape Henlopen Park, North Shore, Rehoboth Beach, and Dewey Beach. Myself, Pattyann, Marisa Magnatta, plus her husband and my friend, Matt Lindenmuth, all had a great time on the ride!

We also went out for a boat ride on the Indian River Inlet to Paradise Beach Bar and then had a bite to eat at Dewey Beer Co. By the way, Matt is one of the main brewers there and has a deep knowledge of beers. Plus, he has a pretty good basketball hat game, like myself, so I scored a couple of cool Dewey Beer snapbacks. I was stoked!

Overall, I had an amazing time down at the Delaware Beaches!

As I said, I am definitely a Jersey Shore guy, but the Delaware Beaches are a nice change up from my normal summer routine! There are definitely a lot more options as far as retail goes, and more Wawas, so who could complain about that? Also, I can’t forget to mention that they are a lot more bicycle friendly.

I can’t wait to head back down again to see what’s in store next!

The first sign you see when you arrive in Dewey Beach. Apparently Dewey Beach is A Way of Life. A good one at that!

Riding my bike in Rehoboth. What a great beach town. Both for bike riding and vacation.

Pattyann and I stopping for a picture in Rehoboth. Look at the cool water tower in the background. It is definitely a landmark in Rehoboth.

The whole group on our bike ride. It was such a fun day. It is always great getting together with Marisa and Matt.

Here is a picture of our over 30-mile bike ride! We went through four different Delaware beach towns. They were all gorgeous.

Matt is not only a good beer brewer, but also a great boat driver. He led the way through the Indian River Inlet and got us to our destination.

After our boat ride, we stopped by this place for a bit. It is called the Paradise Beach Bar. Just wait until you see some of the rules!

No hats. No shirt. No service! And a whole lot of other rules!

This pole is not for dancing! I've never been a rule follower anyway!

No pulling money out of your bra. It is too sweaty. Luckily for me, I don't wear one!

Outside Dewey Beer Co. What a great place! Located right on the corner of Saulsbury Street

You saw the outside, now take a look at the inside. This place was so cool. Matt and company do a great job.

My burger at Dewey Beer Co. was amazing. Look at the size of that thing. You have to try it if you are in the area.

One of the two hats Matt gave me. Me and him will have to compare collections one day. Two of the best hat games out there.

The second of the two hats Matt gave me. I can't tell which one I like better. What do you think?

We passed the President's house on our bike ride. Yes, the secret service was all over me and told me to keep it moving. The do a good job!

Riding in the boat with Pattyann, Marisa, and Matt. Look closely for the dolphins! If you blink you may just miss them!

Here we are as a group on our bike ride. We went through multiple Delaware beach towns. The trail is fantastic.

Here we are in the boat. Matt is driving as we head to Paradise Beach Bar. This was incredible.
