Got out again this morning, seemed less warm then yesterday, or perhaps getting used to it. Put the flag out, rode past cornfields and then in New Carlisle Airport watched a bird fly. Did some 26 miles, temperature was 86 degrees with a heat index over 100. Good ride!

One from 250 (July 3, 2026)
Warmest morning out this year, was 90 degrees at 9:30am. Higher with the heat index. Went 32 miles. First rode though Cloud Park in Huber Heights. They are getting ready to celebrate the 4th tomorrow. Made a stop at the Wright Brothers Memorial ( in the background) at Riverside. Rode then though Fairborn to Enon where I got fuel...way up thanks to tRUMP 🙄. still, was a good toasty ride!

Just Like Florida (June 30, 2026)
Up just after dawn for a 22 mile ride on this hazy, hot and humid day. Went on a trip for a few days, got back yesterday. Yesterday and today temperature will reach the 90's with a heat index of 105 degrees! Rode out to George Rogers Clark Park in hopes of seeing deer...and did...on a very quiet morning. Was a very good ride!

Had places to go in New Carlisle and Huber Heights, Ohio and went the long way. Covered 29 miles at 60 degrees. Very comfortable ride and glad to get it in with a very rainy forecast over the next few days.

Father's Day Ride (June 21, 2026)
Not just that, also first official day of Summer. Today did a 26 mile ride at 68 degrees. Went back to the museum to see if the biplanes were still there (nope, departed for home). Still, always sights to see there, and a good ride around Fairborn so no complaints.

Stearman Ride ( June 19, 2026)
First of all, Happy Juneteenth. A great day in American history. Got out on the Triumph and rode into Fairborn. Then, rode out to day one of the Stearman Fly-in. Stearman made planes from the 1920's. Most notably they made training aircraft in World War 2. These are what have arrived so far. Was a great ride today, about 36 miles and temperature in the low 70's.
