mile 50 Wantagh

When I made it to the village of Wantagh, my buttocks was hurting like a can of smashed assholes. Furthermore, my legs were getting a bit sore from a day of peddling. It started raining lightly, and I asked a nearby cyclist if there was a place to stop and eat. Greg, the cyclist asked me where I was going, and I said Montauk. At that, he told me that I was insane and that I was going to get myself killed. He said that the best thing I should do is peddle my way to the Massapequa train station and go home or to Montauk on the LIRR. I politely thanked him for his opinion and was on my way. A few miles of riding brought me to Marinelli's, a small family owned pizzashop. The owner Lou was working there along with his two sons and daughter. I got two bottles of spring water and a slice of pizza(which was fantastic by the way :D). As I sat out the rain, we talked about what I was doing on the trip and the pizza business in general. With Marinelli's the situation is much the same, Lou mentioned that the prices of everything seems to be inflating. With that, Lou asked his son Charlie to stop wasting electricity and gas, in the normal way that a father communicates to his son.

So I finished the pizza and was about to go on my way. I asked for the bill, and was surprised to find that the pizza was on the house. It was really good pizza made by a very decent bunch of people. As I was leaving, Charlie asked me to post this on my blog so here goes: "Buy more pizza less gas!" So seriously...if you guys are ever in Wantagh, give Merinelli's pizza a try!
