Left Southampton (PA) yesterday afternoon, took Rt 232 out to New Hope, then, crossed into Jersey, rode up to Frenchtown and back - total distance around 60 miles. There are some long gradual hills in the Southampton <--> New Hope stretch, but, the balance of the ride is pretty flat.

Got back around 9:00 (about five hours later). Grabbed a Diet Mountain Dew and a bag of miniature carrots. I'm bragging to myself about how healthy those carrots were for me when the ice cream bug struck - I sat down with a big bowl of ice cream (stacked like a mountain in the bowl) to watch a little TV. After consuming the ice cream, I figured I'd just stretch out on the sofa under a blanket until the chill from the ice cream wore off.

That was around 10:30 PM. Missed the eleven o'clock shoot 'em up - but, I'm all rested and fresh now (4:30 AM, LOL).

Ice cream is my down fall. DQ Blizzards rank right up there - I like mine with vanilla and malt powder - Mmmmmm. Nothing wrong with a Rita's Misto, either.
