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.

Piano Ride (June 5, 2026)

 No, you don't see that every day.  Yes, that's a piano in a cornfield.  Saw it while out today on a 20 mile ride today. Was 79 degrees while out. Very nice ride both out in the country and in Huber Heights.  Expecting some days of rain again next few days starting tomorrow. So wanted to get one on.

Back to Huffman Prairie (June 3, 2026)

 After our return from Grand Lake St Mary's,  and a nights rest, rode out on the Triumph.  Saw some classic cars locally, then rode into Fairborn where I chatted with a Monster.

Out to Huffman Prairie,  sign explains it all. The hangar while a replica is still true to their design. Was a nice 32 mile ride, just over 60 degrees.
