Saturday Vern went for a bike ride. A long bike ride, 50 miles. When we were in Georgia everything was pretty flat. In PA nothing is flat or straight. The bike ride went up into the mountains and then back. There was also a 5 mile run. They were serving omelets for anyone who wanted them. The entry fees for the run and bike ride were supporting the Lititz fire department. With the goodies bag Vern got a t-shirt, a bag of pretzel sticks, a small bag of goldfish crackers, and a small back pack.
Next Saturday Vern is going to do a half marathon (13 miles) sponsored by the Garden Spot Village. They provide housing and assistance to senoirs in the area. The run is like the bike ride, it goes up into the mountains and turns around and comes back down. There is also a marathon (26 miles). Vern's been online checking the route and found out there are over a 1,000 entered in the 2 races, most are for the half marathon. He may have a little more competition this time. :-) At least he is getting a new supply of t-shirts.
