Tuesday: This was Root's Market & Auction day. Check out the place with the pictures in the right panel and go to the Root's website at http://www.rootsmarket.com/ It was a good day at the market where meats, vegetables and fruits were purchased. After the time at the market, it was time for a snack at McDonald's in Manheim before heading to Lititz to browse the shops and visit the Wilbur Chocolate Factory. http://www.wilburchocolate.com/ On the way back to the coach we stopped at another bike shop the Green Mountain Bike Shop in Ephrata. No purchases were made at the bike shop.
About mid-afternoon I took off on the road bike and rode part way to Elizabethtown from the campground. Later I met Audrey at the rails/trails Colebrook trail head where she had gone to walk the trail toward Mt. Gretna. At the trail head we met some fellow bike riders who shared with us where to ride other bike trails not too far away. One to the riders had a recumbent bike that was really neat. It cost about $2,500 and was fully equipped. The unit folded in such a way that it could be easily placed in the back of his small SUV. In fact he said his wife and a similar bike and both bikes fit easily into the back of the SUV. One of these days we plan to ride a recumbent bike. We have friends in NC who have recumbent bikes and ride them everywhere. We are not sure how easily the bikes can be ridden up hills and how safe they are to ride. They may be hard to see by drivers on the road.
Dinner was another winner. Smoked sausage was the fare of the day -- both regular smoked sausage and hard smoked. All bought at Root's.

You know, if you get a recumbent bike, you are required to grow a beard and wear sandals while riding! Just kidding.
Love, Cindy
