Last Ride of September (September 30, 2022)

Beautiful Friday in Central Ohio, had some places to go to in New Carlisle, Ohio so made a couple of stops there. They are getting ready for the "Festival of Flight" (aviation is a big deal here) and looking forward to that. Will have some photos from that event on my "Ohio and Me" blog. Today there will be a car show, also rides, bands and booths along the road. Tomorow is the aircraft parade and the motorcycle show...planning to make both of those. As for the ride today was a real good one. Went down some roads I have not been on in a while, past farms and fields. At the end of the ride, took the last photo, a little fall color. More of that to come soon for sure in the next few weeks.   

 

Saturday Ride Under the Clouds (September 24, 2022)

Got out the day after the Keith Urban concert in Columbus, Ohio (and you can read about that at my "Ohio and Me" blog) under some very gray skies. Sure looked like rain so I did not go very far. Made it a 25 mile ride. 

Nice day to ride otherwise, temperature was 62 degrees. As you can see at left, Fall color is starting to kick in here in Central Ohio, though we are told the peak color will not be till the middle of the month. I am looking forward to seeing it. Have to say, I am looking forward to Fall itself. It is one of my favorite times of the year.

Anyhow, got out a bit and rode down some favorite area roads. Though later in the day then my usual riding time, the roads did not have a great deal of traffic and I greatly enjoyed the ride today.

Appreciate you stopping by to visit my page.  

 

First Ride Fall 2022 (September 22, 2022)

First day of Fall, and a great time to ride. Temperature in the low 60's and sunny. Rode out to Fairborn to see the Halloween decorations. Always amazing, they really do Halloween right in Fairborn. Will be more going up there in the next few days.

Rode out to Carriage Hill Farm, where I enjoyed seeing the donkeys that were out early this morning. A favorite place, and they are very cool critters. 

Love this time of year, and this is one of my favorite seasons to ride! 

 

Last Ride of Summer 2022 (September 21, 2022)

Been a good summer here in Central Ohio. On this Wednesday which is the last day of Summer got the Triumph out again and rode out in the countryside for a short ride. 

Rode by some cows, and as usual they were interested in seeing what I was doing (well, some of them). Pretty cool critters and enjoy them and the other sights along the way.

Plan to ride again tomorrow, which will be..the first ride of Fall 2022. Thank you for visiting my page! 

 

Tuesday in the Breeze (September 20, 2022)

It was a foggy morning when I got up, but that soon cleared up and so got out on the day before the last full day of summer 2022. Beautiful morning, and got out in the upper 60 degree temperature and amid the light traffic. Took a backroads ride, which you can see below. A lot of farms, and good hilly twisty roads. 

Was a great day to get out, and enjoyed this ride. Might get out again tomorrow, which is the last day of Summer. That said looking forward to Fall, which is probably my favorite season to ride. 

 

Waco Fly-in Ride (September 18, 2022)

Was out of town past few days and the Fly-in started Friday. However, got to see a few of the Waco biplanes fly, and a few even on display that had not headed home yet on this beautiful Sunday in Troy, Ohio. 

While out took a short ride around Troy. Got out there via Highway and back through the backroads. Beautiful day for a ride, and a wonderful sight to see. 

 

Saturday Morning Ride (September 10, 2022)

Light fog on this Saturday morning, but a beautiful day. Expecting rain tonight and possibly into early next week, so got out to check out the sights. 

Stopped at the local VFW to see the cannon, not open this early but thats why I like riding early in the morning - the temperature and the fact that I own the roads.

Stopped at the New Carlisle Airport where I saw I am not the only person who likes to get out early for a "ride", though this guy will have a different view than I did.  

 

Friday Afternoon Ride (September 9, 2020)

Out on a rare of late afternoon ride. Went to run a few places getting ready for an upcoming trip. Stopped in to TJ Chumps in Huber Heights, Ohio after making stops at some local places, and got a beer from Yellow Springs Brewery. Good stuff there, but one...only one. 

Middle photo was a stop to visit the ducks before getting home. The bottom photo I took at Carriage Hill Park, just a nice scene from above the creek. That park is one of my favorite places in the area.

It was a very good ride, not real hot and not humid at all. Getting close to the best riding time of the year here.  

 

Thursday Plane Ride (September 8, 2022)

Brisk morning with temperature in the mid 50's, and some cloud cover but otherwise a beautiful day after days of rain here. Got the motorcycle out basically just to get out and around the area. Ride took me out to the Air Force Museum. The inside does not open till 9am, and I was there before 8, as the outside is not locked up. Took a couple of photos of the A-10 (at left and below) and then a photo of Downtown Fairborn, Ohio at the bottom. Went a little over 30 miles today, and even got in a bit of highway riding thanks to heading down some different roads. The museum was not really my destination, but really did not have a destination on this ride today!  

 

September Friday Ride (September 2, 2022)

Out again with another beautiful day. It was in the low 60's and got out to get in another relaxing ride. Rode down some country roads, also did a bit of riding down Highway 201 in Huber Heights. I also rode out to Fairborn where I got a photo of the C-17's at the Air Force Base.

Regretted not bringing the Canon with me on this ride, instead of that good camera had the cell phone so apologize for the poor quality of the deer photo at the bottom. There of course would be deer. Still the best camera you have, is the one you brought. Thanks for visiting my page.  

 

September 1 Ride 1 (September 1, 2022)

Out on the first day of September and got in a nice ride (very nice in fact) on this beautiful day. Temperatures in the low 60's and a clear blue sky. Rode into New Carlisle and out among the corn fields. There are a "lot" of them around here, as well as soybeans. Being morning the traffic was real light and it was very peaceful out there. Made a stop at George Rogers Clark Park to see the preparations for the "New London Festival" over the Labor Day weekend.
