Errand Ride ( June 23, 2026)

 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.

Morning Cow Ride (June 14, 2026)

 Wonderful weather. Not humid and 69 degrees ( a big change from the past few days here) so got out and got in a 28 mile ride. Ran an errand in New Carlisle where I also saw planes, then out down some country roads where cows were chilling out. A beautiful ride!

Overcast Putt ( June 10, 2026)

 Looked ominous out, but with the rain forecast of the past few and upcoming days,  thought I'd get a quick ride in. Went 22 miles on a very humid day. Clouds kept the temperature down, but still feels like a mid-80 degree swamp. Still a nice country ride with a bit of Fairborn, Ohio thrown in.

Monday Ride (June 8, 2026)

 After yesterday's ride, did a little motorcycle maintenance and cleaned the bike. Took an early morning test ride. All good! Another good reason to go is expecting rain later today, and for the next couple of days.

Beautiful sunrise in the clouds, and a couple of photos in George Rogers Clark Park.  Rode some 22 miles. Was 70 degrees and humid but a very nice ride!

Sunday in Springfield (June 7, 2026)

 After a rainy Saturday,  a beautiful Sunday ride into Springfield,  Ohio. Rode by an old Tumbleweed Restaurant.  Closed many years ago, chain was a favorite in my louisville days. 

Rode thru Snyder Park, always a beautiful place. Saw the arch there (doubt it would satisfy tRUMP but I like it). Made a short stop at The Pennsylvania House which served as an Inn on the National Road. Was built around 1830. 

Rode 34 miles and the temperature was 81 degrees.
