Cape May

September 14, 2007
We started out trying to ride the Jersey shore, first along Long Branch, then onto Ashbury Park. The home between these two towns were quite impressive, but once in Ashbury, we decided to skip the rest and go to the Parkway. Even if The Boss started in Ashbury, it's in quite a state of disrepair. We rode the 85 miles or so to Cape May, missing the turn to the ferry which gave us the chance to see the town of Cape May. Quite nice.

After a nice tour of Cape May, we rode back to the correct turn and then to the ferry. We arrived around 12:30 but too late to catch the 1pm. We parked, along with dozens of motorcycles, who were on their way to Ocean City, Delaware, for some rally that happened to coinside with our arrival. The ferry ride was nice, even though the waters were rough. We arrived around 4pm, then riding on 9 west a good 20 miles, the onto 113 for 70 miles or so, until we reached 13 south. It was a nice ride even though the rains returned.

We were intent on reaching Norfolk but it was not to be. The time, the rain, the tiredness upon us, all sugested we spend the night in Ononcock, Virginia. This town is surely in the top 100 towns to miss. By the time we got into the room, it was 6:30pm. Time to rest.
