US 40 to the Airport Ride (March 24, 2021)

 

Took the third ride in two days of riding (two rides happened on the same day a few hours apart) and now have added 110 miles in total to this years riding so far. Got on on this fine day and rode up US 40. There is a sign below which I saw along the road describing this historic route. It runs a long way across the country and have been on it in a few places and in a few states. Still, love riding it here. 

Took the ride to the Dayton airport. Rolled past the terminal which was pretty empty. Air travel has still not really taken off here (parden the pun people) but starting to show signs of life. Probably one of the most interesting control towers I have ever seen. Took a stop later on at the Taylorsville Park Dam which was pretty cool. Walked over to see that and than later made a stop at the above mentioned sign. Wonderful weather on a beautiful day for a ride, with temperatures in the low 70's. Expecting some rain over the next couple of days, so got this one in before that happens. What can I say...it was a long winter and I sure missed getting out on this motorcycle.
