City Ride (April 6, 2019)

Posted a ride blog on my "Ohio and Me" blog page. By mistake but whatever. Have been enjoying two good days of riding thanks to a real big dose of Spring here in the Ohio area. Yesterday I took a ride out in the country and today's ride took me to Dayton. Had never been there on the motorcycle (though had in the car) so this was a first.
This was at Woodland Cemetery. The grave is the Wright family grave. At the bottom left to right are the graves of Wilbur, Katherine and Orville Wright. Also buried there are his father and mother. Fun to see the graves of the World's first pilots and the creators of the airplane. 

Seen from Woodland Cemetery is Dayton, Ohio. Said to be one of the best views of the city from that point this is a sight of one of the things I plan to explore over the next few years.
Woodland is interesting though. In addition to the Wright family, the author (and friend of the Wrights) Paul Dunbar, Erma Bombeck and others are buried there. There is also a nice area of soldiers (Union after so many years of being in the South and seeing Confederate graves) from the Civil War.
Woodland is a very historical and interesting place to visit. 

I did take a short ride around Dayton. Passed the University of Dayton, rolled down some very interesting streets and also rolled into the Oregon District. It is the entertainment district of Dayton and has been fixed up by the various business owners. Will in the future be some places there to check out too.
So all in all was a very good ride. Unlike the previous days ride rode up Highway 4 to Dayton. While not the pot holed mess of many roads here was not as smooth as the roads headed to Troy from yesterdays ride. Very bumpy but was manageable.
Ohio passed a increase in the gas tax to improve the roads a few days ago. While not a tax fan, in this case and if it does some good I am all for it.
At any case, home safe and sound after a very fun ride. Looking forward to the next one.
