That reminds me of a route I did from the club collection. It ended up
being a 62 mile ride with no stops as we couldn't find a single store
on the route! I haven't done that one since but I now know where every
store is within 5 miles of my routes (this is South Jersey and still
farm land). The reason it reminded me of that was an encounter we had
on my modified version of that ride. There is a store in Chesterfield
that is billed as an Ice Cream shop. There a vegetarian rider took
offense to the way another rider scarfed down a hot dog (I was upset
too, not enough yellow mustard! ;-). Ocasionally we ride for hot dogs!
