Tour de Chocolate Town

Yesterday Roy and I volunteered at the Bainbridge Rest Stop on the Tour de Chocolate Town bicycle route. The tour is a  65- or 100-mile route starting and ending in Hershey. Our friend April works for Hershey as a food scientist and she asked for help on this event. The Smiths came out in full force and the cyclists were pretty entertained. It's a pure riot when the triplets and Roy all get together. There is no political correctness to be had. Roy's nieces, Kierstin and Lexi, were also there. My nieces were supposed to come out but they had a violin performance at church so they couldn't make it.



Tour Map. We were stationed in Bainbridge (bottom left) which is about the halfway point for the 65 mile route and the start of the extra 35 mile loop for those doing the 100 miles.


Volunteering is fun.


There were lots of volunteers so we started a bike valet and held bikes up for people. Most of the road bikes don't have kickstands so we made ourselves useful.

No spandex zone!

The Triplets (Karen, Karla, Kay) and April. You might see April driving the Kiss Mobile around town. 
There was no sunshine this weekend but the rain stayed away for the most part. Karla flew in from Kentucky and we celebrated her graduation from college on Friday night. On Saturday morning we sold some stuff at the Annual Mount Joy community yard sale at Karen's house. She sold her famous egg rolls again and sold out by 11 am. She only made about 200 this time. How was your weekend?
