Today was a nice quiet day.
Ken and I had splurged on a hotel room for our rest day and It was
really worth it. Getting to lie in bed
late was the ultimate luxury. When we finally rolled out of bed it was close to
8:00 Am.
We met up with Bob and went across the street to the local
diner for bacon and eggs. Lingered over
several cups of coffee and told stories.
It was great.
As daylight was burning Ken packed up the laundry and headed
off to do that while I under took the bike cleaning. We had been on a gravel trail last week and
the bikes were covered in grime. My bike
wasn’t too bad as I had wiped the chain a couple of times during the week but
Ken’s was very encrusted. Ken’s pedals have been squeaking and so I cleaned and
oiled them as well. I hope that I have
fixed it.
We have not had pizza since we left home and both Ken and I
have been craving it and as it happens there was a Pizza Hut just two doors
down from the motel so we headed over for lunch. The two of us cleaned up a large (18”) meat
lovers pizza. It was just what we needed
to fill the pizza depravation we have had.
In the afternoon I decided to jump in the pool. It was so nice just floating around and I had
the place to myself. Then I sat for a
while in the hot tub. Finally I crawled
out and lay on the lawn chairs around the pool.
I had every intention of finishing my book with less than 50 pages on
what is an easy read. When I looked at
my watch it was time to get ready to go to rider meeting. Somehow I had read
less than 5 pages in something like 2 hours.
Rider meeting and supper was down at the Old Hamil Restaurant
in downtown so the van showed up to shuttle us down. The Old Hamil is an old
time family run place with a wonderful buffet. Their homemade bread is the
absolute best.
Such a lazy day I only took a couple of pictures.
Tomorrow is an 95 mile ride.
However Ken Bob and I are going to ride straight down the main road saving
about 10 miles and cut off a bunch of the hills and cross checked side
roads.
