BIKE LANCASTER COUNTY, PA

May 28, 1999 Friday Drive to Ronks, PA

Got up and ran 5.1 miles. Cut the grass and trimmed the hedges. Anne is in the Bahamas visiting Dorothy Savage at a cancer clinic so I drove to Kendigs in Ronks, Lancaster County, PA. Our group includes Barry and Carol Nelson, Lew and Kathleen Frain, Jimmy and Pat Huelskamp, Pat and Carol Mooney, and Joe Dumin with Anne Stratmann. Went to Jennie’s Diner with the Nelsons and Frains for supper at $9.50. Most of us stayed at Kendig’s Tourist Home in Ronks. I got the middle room 2 on the right of the 2nd floor for $26 per night for 3 nights.

Got up and ran 5.1 miles in 46:43 with Pat Mooney and Barry Nelson. Biked to Jennies Diner for breakfast at $5.20. We biked around Lancaster County for 38.6 miles. We biked south in a circuit along Pequea Creek and back through Strasburg. It was a very scenic ride. Lunch of an Italian sub and drink at a busy country store cost $5.20. Carol Mooney had some some problems especially with the heat and we all got separated coming back so we all got in at different times. Barry Nelson and I went back and got his van to pick up the Mooneys in Strasburg. That night we ate supper in Bird-in-Hand for $11.55. Stayed at Kendigs.
