My Bike Ride Through My Beautiful Hometown
Let me take you on a trip through the gorgeous towns and sights from my adventurous bike ride the other day.
As most of you know who have been keeping up with my posts for the last few years, I love to go on a good bike ride.
Whether that be down the Jersey Shore, in the best city in the world — Philadelphia — or anywhere in between with friends, my wife, or even alone to work sometimes, I can’t get enough bike rides.
Well, that love took me on another adventure the other day, and it was quite the familiar face from my past, and now my present again!
Hometown Bike Ride…
We had a really neat bike ride through my old stomping grounds that went through Glen Mills, Chester Heights, and even parts of Wawa, PA!
Yes, all you Wawa lovers out there — there really is a small town called Wawa, Pennsylvania!
Honestly, the bike ride took us through some really historically beautiful places along the way and it was awesome.
There were a ton of beautiful buildings and houses along the way that were similarly structured in the same way, and they date all the way back to the 1700s — it was really cool!
As a young kid and a teenager, I was so fortunate enough to grow up in this area, and, to be honest, it really hasn’t changed much since the early ‘70s.
And that is a great thing!
One thing that I can tell you for sure has not changed is the hills in the area, which definitely can make it challenging to ride a bicycle, but, man, it is a great workout.
If you ever get a chance to visit the area, I promise you’ll find it just as beautiful as I do!
But I can’t promise you’ll make it up the hill on a bike, you might need some experience for that, but it is worth the try!
My 25-Mile Bike Ride With Casey Boy Preparing For Ben To The Shore
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!
The Map of Our Ride
The map of our 25-mile ride. We covered so much ground. It is nuts looking at it in map form!
