First Ride of Summer (June 26, 2018)

 Another short ride...first time since June 15. It has been a period of amazing rain. We  set a historic record for rain in June, which by the way we set a historic  record in May as well. Literally came down in buckets, and there was also massive flooding in the city of Richmond. One day flooding even closed the Richmond International Airport for a few hours.
However on this day no rain (at least not nearby) and I decided due to that and the lower heat/ humidity to get the motorcycle out.
In my area there are a lot of bunnies and got a kick out of this little guy checking out my motorcycle. They get quite used to me since Debbie and me don't bother them, so walked up, started it up and headed down the road. First stop was Byrd Park where I checked out the lake and a few other sights. Lots of road work going on in the city...lots of detours.

Wandered down Monument Avenue and due to detours again headed through some new parts of Richmond. It was pretty cool some nice places out there.
Stopped in Calvary Cemetery where I got the photo of this very interesting grave. Lots of Priests and Nuns buried in that location, plus a lot of people who came from Ireland according to the grave stones. Very beautiful and peaceful place which I have seen before.
Headed back in what was a short but very nice 16 mile ride. Looking forward to the next one as summer is here and this was the first ride of the season.
