National Aviation Day Ride ( August 19, 2026)

 Rain expected today but got out ahead of it. Did a 25 mile ride again, temperature was 68 degrees. Being National Aviation Day rode to Huffman Prairie Flying Field in Dayton. Wright Brothers flew from there 1904-1905 perfecting their aircraft design. Later it was the site of their flying school. Now it's part of Wright Patterson Air Force Base. This is also Orville Wright's birthday.

Post Storms Ride (August 18. 2026)

 First ride in 12 days thanks to record rainfall, a few tornadoes over the area. Its been a wild time with some epic floods. Rain was from 6 inches to just over a foot. So...for the first time in awhile got blue skies, lower humidity and temperatures in the upper 60s this morning.  Rode 25 miles, to Enon and New Carlisle.  Ran errands but went the long way. It was a beautiful day to ride!
