If you know me, you know how much I love going out for a nice bike ride, and you know how much I love the Jersey Shore as well.

Plus, if you’ve been keeping up with my posts this year, or even saw my last post, you know how much I love dogs as well.

Well, lucky for me, this post includes all three of those things — biking, the Jersey Shore, and dogs.

My 15-Mile Bike Ride

The other day, we were down at the Jersey Shore, Sea Isle City to be specific, and we decided to go for a bike ride.

While we were in the middle of it, we noticed the brand new dog park they just built in Sea Isle, and it is awesome.

We started our bike ride back on 93rd Street in Sea Isle City, and ended the bike ride down in Strathmere — a quieter beach town in between Sea Isle and Ocean City that many people forget exists.

Strathmere is the home of Twisties Tavern On The Bay and The Deauville Inn.

So from one end of our bike ride to the other is seven miles total, and then back again is another seven miles.

Since we wanted a nice round number of 15 total miles biked, we decided to stretch it out a little bit.

But back to that dog park, what a great addition to an already great town.

Sea Isle City did a fantastic job with that project, and I am sure all our dog friends will love it.

If you haven’t seen it yet, and you plan on being down the shore soon, you need to get your eyes on this place.

Heck, if you’re feeling up to it, consider going on a 15-mile bike ride yourself, and pass it on your way, just like I did!

My 25-Mile Bike Ride With Casey Boy Preparing For Ben To The Shore

As many of you know after reading my post about the Stanley Cup from yesterday, I spent the last week on vacation down the Jersey shore.

And from many of my other posts before that, you know I enjoy going for some long bike rides — especially down the shore!

So what could be better than squeezing in a nice bike ride on a week’s long vacation? Squeezing in a nice bike ride on a week’s long vacation with a great friend of mine, of course!

I got to go on a great ride with my buddy Casey Boy from The Preston and Steve Show on our sister station, WMMR.

We rode through multiple shore towns as we got in a practice ride in preparation for this Sunday’s Ben To The Shore ride! For those that don’t know, the Ben To The Shore Bike Tour is a charity event that raises funds for Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation, which is for the families of fallen first responders and police officers.

It is always a lot of fun and something I look forward to each year!

During our practice route, Casey Boy and I rode about 25.81 miles from Wildwood to Town Bank to Cape May Point to Cape May then all the way back to Wildwood where we started.

It was a great time and has me ready to conquer the 65-mile Ben To The Shore ride! This will actually be my tenth year riding in the event and each year it gets better and better.

If you are interested in donating, visit fbbcf.org or visit the Team WMMR Rock and Rollers page.

I can’t wait for Sunday and hopefully, the weather holds up for the ride! I’m sure there will be a lot of people on the ride for this great cause!

Who do you think will cross the finish line first, me or Casey Boy?

Casey Boy, Pattyann, and Myself

Here’s a selfie Casey Boy took on our ride. It is of Casey, Pattyann, and myself. What a great crew.
Selfie on the Bridge

I took this during our ride. I’m not sure how I kept my balance! Just ahead of my leading the way are Casey and Pattyann.
Casey and Pattyann on the Bridge

Like I mentioned in the photo above, there they are leading the way. It’s a tight bridge like many down the shore. Luckily, we all managed to make it across.
Welcome to Town Bank

The first sign you see in Town Bank. Apparently, it is the birthplace of the South Jersey. I wonder what it was like in 1635?
Willow Creek Winery

Outside the beautiful Willow Creek Winery. What a cool sign. We definitely needed to check this place out on the ride.
The Whole Winery From the Outside

The land the winery was on was beautiful. Look at those flowers! The property was huge.
Inside the Winery

You know we had to make our way into the winery! Riding on the bricks was not as hard as you would think. It was even cooler on the inside.
The Crew in the Winery

You know I had to grab a group picture inside the winery! I am actually wearing a jersey from a previous Ben To The Shore ride! I wonder what this year’s will look like?
The Group

Just a group of people that love a good bike ride. I know we all can’t wait for Sunday’s ride. Hopefully, the weather is as nice as it was on this day!
