Day 7: Somerset, NJ to Hammonton, NJ, 79 miles
Saw this sign when we stopped to fix Michel's flat. Given that we're we riding bicycles in the rain in heavy traffic, it seemed like an appropriate name for this ride.
We're in what is called South Jersey. It's pretty rural with some dairy farms and around Hammonton big fields of blueberries.
Tomorrow we're taking the ferry across Delaware Bay. It's 70 miles to the ferry landing. There's an 11:00 which I won't make and a 1:00 which I plan to make. It's a 90 minute ride so I hope the weather is good. After the ferry we ride 10 more miles to someplace called Dewey Beach and a rest day.
Sam,
ReplyDeleteChecking in on you. Sorry I missed you in NJ. Looks like your weather will be improving for next few days. I am familiar with some of the area you are traveling -- including Dewey Beach. Gwen and I spend some time down around there and Rehoboth Beach every now and then. Watch out for those Devil fish that play dead and then jump up and bite you in the ass when you get close. There are also pirates but they stay pretty drunk and docile these days. Glad I can help you out with tips like these. Stay safe -- Old Dick
