On Saturday, the Cape May County Chapter of the Red Knights hosted a ride from Main Street Cycle in Cape May Court House to Natali Vineyard where they served pulled pork platters to raise money for local food banks. The club also collected non-perishable food items to donate. It was a gorgeous day for a ride and I christened myself as a real biker by taking my first (and hopefully only) fall turning onto a gravel road. The bruises are ugly, but I was fortunately distracted by the tunes of Geno White playing at the back of the tent and all the amazing food.
