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.

Dam Ride (May 31, 2026)

 Up this Sunday morning,  temperature is 65 degrees and sunny. Enjoying these dry days after those days of rain last week. Rode out to Vandalia to Taylorsville Dam. Great Miami River is still up. Stopped at Jim's Doughnuts - was outstanding! Drove through Carriage Hill Farm before getting home after a 40 mile adventure.

Cow Ride (May 29. 2026)

 After days of what turned out to be  record breaking rain this month (over 10 inches) have had a beautiful day under clear blue skies. Got out and rode out down some beautiful country roads. Visited a cannon,  cows of course and rode down a flag lined road ( called Liberty Road). Did some 40 miles and loved every one of them!

Pre-rain Ride (May 26, 2026)

 Got out for the first time in 8 days on the Triumph. Been a long period of daily rain. We have gotten over 7 inches. Need it, but damn. Got in a 35 mile ride, before the next batch. Creeks and rivers are way up.

Morning Putt (May 18, 2026)

 Another sunny and warm day. Got out early with things to do but still over 70 degrees  with more 80s ahead later. Got out in the country even saw a deer dash across the road. Had to make a stop just before getting home for some families out for a stroll.
