Last Ride 2024 (November 17, 2024)

Was a fantastic year of riding, with a number of great places and fun adventures. Got out on Sunday, ran a few errands, and got in a few miles. 

As the first show is happening as I write this on November 21 here in the Miami Valley, time to put the Triumph away till the spring. 

Will be putting fuel stabilizer in the fuel tank, and taking the battery out in the next few days.

Looking forward to the adventures to come in 2025. Thank you for visiting my pages. Will still be updating Ohio and Me over the next few months, and back here this Spring.   
 

Veterans Day Ride (November 11, 2024)

View of (part) of Wright Patterson Air Force Base at left, live not far from it. Got out today for a short ride, went to Fairborn, Ohio. Visited the Military History Museum in Fairborn. Had never been there, but it was a very fine museum. Lots of history there and really honors those who served. 

As a veteran myself, think that is really important. Enjoyed the visit and try to do something to remember those who served every Veterans Day, and especially Memorial Day. 

As for the ride, was wonderful as always

 

Saturday Short Ride (November 9, 2024)

Needed to make a run out and no better way to do so than via Triumph. Got out to New Carlisle and down some back roads for a short while. 

Cool morning but some beautiful weather to get out in. Made a stop not far from the house where I got the photo at left. 

Riding season is getting close to ending, while the weather of late has been very warm for this time of year, and with the drought few days to not ride, winter is coming in the near future. For now though, enjoying the last few rides of 2024    
 

Birthday Ride (November 8, 2024)

Got out on my birthday, which was a beautiful day and enjoyed the celebrations during the day thanks to my wife and friends. 

Did get the Triumph out for a short ride. Stopped in Fairborn where I could see they have the Christmas tree up and soon to be decorated I'm sure.  

Had coffee and pie while in Fairborn, both were very good. 

Was a good day to get out for a short ride, and a nice way to give thanks for another year on this planet.

Hope you have a great day too, thanks for visiting my pages 
 

Election Day Ride (November 5, 2024)

Rode on Election Day (voted a few days prior, unfortunately my candidate lost to the felon) and went to Tipp City under cloudy skies. 

Was a good day to ride once again, and the second day in a row. Neat town, and like Xenia saw they were getting ready for the Christmas holiday, putting lights in the trees lining the street. Looking forward to seeing that, later this holiday season.

Saw the horses on the way back home. Looking forward to the next few rides as this riding season winds down.  
 

Pre-election Ride (November 4, 2024)

Got out on a beautiful day, and rode out to Xenia, Ohio, nice ride on a beautiful day. Was warmer than usual, with temperatures in the 70's. 

Saw this cabin there, and saw they were getting Christmas lights ready for an upcoming display (and that will be seen in a few weeks on my "Ohio and Me" page). 

Saw horses running at the Greene County Fairgrounds, and got a photo of the old City Hall. 

Was a very nice ride!   
 

"Halloween" Ride (October 30,2024)

Due to a rainy and windy Halloween Day forecast, got out the day early on October 30, to take a last look at the decorations (of which only a few are seen here) in Fairborn, Ohio. 

Been to a lot of places in the US (and beyond) over Halloween, to me Fairborn is one of the top places to see. You could (as I have) spend days and days looking at all it has to offer. 

As for the ride, in late October here enjoyed blue skies, and unseasonably warm temperatures. Both were much appreciated, and I enjoyed the ride.
