Sunday at the Dam (September 24, 2023)

Another beautiful day in what has been a string of them. Once again got the Triumph out and rode. This time to Taylorsville Dam which is just outside of Vandalia, Ohio. Had a wonderful day to do it and once again took full advantage. Rolled up US40 and made a stop to see the early fall color, and a walk to the gates of the dam itself. 

As it has been the last few mornings, was in the 50's. Great time and weather for a remarkable ride. The season will be winding down in the next few weeks, but taking full advantage of late, and loving every minute of it.   

 

First Ride of Fall 2023 (September 23, 2023)

Another beautiful day to ride, and this one the first day of Fall. Love those cool early morning rides, and its my favorite time of year to get out on the Triumph. 

Rode to Yellow Springs, Enon and made a stop at Youngs's Dairy to have breakfast with the animals.

Made a quick ride through downtown Fairborn where the Halloween decorations are going up. It was a beautiful start to Fall and another wonderful ride! 

 

Last Ride of Summer, 2023 (September 22, 2023)

Got out for the third day in a row. Beautiful weather again, and a nice cool morning to ride. Not the last ride of the year, but will be the last ride of summer for this year. Tomorrow will be the start of Fall, and looking forward to those rides too. For one thing they are very colorful. Starting to see that in the photo below. 

It was a fun ride, but then again....thankfully, they all tend to be. Hope you had a great summer, now on to fall!   

 

Springfield Coffee Run (September 21, 2023)

Nice long ride to Springfield, Ohio. This will be the last ride of Summer, will be officially Spring on Saturday. Rode out to Snyder Park, and out to the Cemetery nearby  hoping to see deer. No deer but a nice ride nonetheless. 

Stopped in downtown Springfield for coffee and a break before heading back home. Temperature was in the low 60's, and got in some 50 miles on today's ride. 

 

Country Ride (September 20, 2023)

Beautiful day to get out, and took a ride around the area. Actually made a stop to take care of business in New Carlisle, but while out came across the old school and the very cool old car (car I saw on US 40 and stopped for the photo). 

Loving this weather, very fall like! 

 

Pre-Fall Morning Ride (September 17, 2023)

Out on a beautiful morning with a temperature of 52 degrees. Fall is in the air, but no fall color yet here, Got a feeling it won't be long though. Fall is a great time to ride, but also will during the season be the last riding of the year. However, still summer here, at least officially for a few more days. 

Had some business in New Carlisle, and made a stop there (very bottom photo) the top two pictures were taken at the airport in New Carlisle. Was a very nice ride though short this morning. 

 

Riding to Remember (September 11, 2023)

Got out again, had some places to go and no better way to get there. One of those places was a stop in New Carlisle, Ohio which is the very bottom photo. 

I also made a stop at the 9-11 Memorial located in Beavercreek, Ohio. Shown is a piece of one of the two Twin Towers knocked down by terrorists in the attack on that dark day. Good to remember and reflect on the terrible events of that dark day in 2001. 

As for the ride, covered close to 50 miles, and enjoyed the low 60 degree temperatures under blue skies.   

 

Sunday in the Park (September 10, 2023)

Nice ride on a 55 degree day. Loving these temperatures, one of my favorite times to ride. Rode out through George Rogers Clark Park hoping to see deer as I have the last two rides. No such luck but a fine day to get out. 

Took bottom photo on my return. Thank you for visiting my page. 

 

Tuesday Morning Country Ride (September 5, 2023)

Beautiful day to get out and ride, so I did. Just a local ride in the area, temperature this morning in the 70's. Has been very hot and humid, so early rides are a great idea before it gets super hot. No deer today, but did get to visit with a herd of cows. Visited George Rogers Clark Park before heading home. 

 

Huffman Prairie Flying Field Deer Run (September 2, 2023)

On this date seven years ago, I purchased this Triumph, took it out to celebrate on this beautiful Saturday morning. Light traffic on this Labor Day weekend, rode out to Huffman Prairie Flying Field which is the site where the Wright Brothers perfected their airplane. Expected to see deer there, and did! 

Was another beautiful ride, at a temperature of 62 degrees. 

 

Saturday Young's Dairy Ride (September 1, 2023)

Have been out of town for the past few days with my wife, but got out on a beautiful Friday for a very nice 50 mile ride. One of the stops was here at Young's Dairy. I apparently arrived at breakfast, as the animals were all enjoying meals there. 

Got out along a number of backroads. I was actually running to a few other places which I always enjoy doing on the Triumph. Was a beautiful day under clear blue skies and the temperature was a comfortable 68 degrees. Had a fantastic time!
