Saturday we went to the Toms River Ice Cream Festival. It was a good ride. We started at the Wawa on Rt. 38 in Lumberton with nine bikes. The ride took as along Rt. 38 to Rt. 530 which went directly into Toms River. It was a nice, but uneventful, ride. We had been worried about parking but found a row of parking spaces together right on the main drag.
They closed down Washington Street for the Ice Cream festival. The way it worked was there were 10 ice cream vendors. You bought a sheet of tickets, one for each vendor. You handed them a ticket and got a sample of their ice cream. If you put them all together you might have gotten one large cone; an expensive cone. It was really crowded and the lines to get the samples were really long...but some of the ice cream was really good!
It was getting hot and everyone had things to do so we left at 1pm and had another nice ride home.
