Hills of Highway 201 (August 17, 2022)

Was at the Miami County Fair yesterday in the car with my wife, and enjoyed riding down Highway 201. Like an asphalt roller coaster, so went by there today on the motorcycle. 61 degrees this morning and sunny. Took photo at left on the way, stopped by Indian Creek Distillery on 201 to get the photo of the buildings. As for 201 one of the hills can be seen in the bottom photo. Nice Wednesday ride out in the country and had a great time. 

Was a beautiful day to ride. As for the Fair photos yesterday, you can see that on my "Ohio and Me" blog.

 

Riding amid the Corn (August 15, 2022)

Simple short ride on this beautiful day. Took the Triumph down some country roads in the area. Under these skies, low humidity and temperatures in the low 60's, it was perfect. 

Always nice to get out around here, went down some new roads while out and about. It is just a wonderful thing to be able to do, and I am always grateful after so many years of riding that I am still able to do it. It is just an amazing thing.

Looking forward to the next ride, and as always thank you for visiting my page.

 

 

A Ride and a Short Walk (August 13, 2022)

Another beautiful day, clear blue skies and 60 degrees. Took this as I got ready to ride. Rode out via some country roads. A little later than my usual ride so a bit more traffic but not too bad.

Took the photo below in Tipp City. Nice ride getting there, and a nice ride through it. Some cool old buildings and some very fine houses there from back in the day. 

Rode to Ross Road where I stopped at the VFW and got the helicopter photo (Vietnam era Huey). Had not been that way in a while but came across the Charleston Nature Preserve and got off the bike for a bit and wandered down some trails. Those are the last four photos. Beautiful place and always fun to explore. One of my favorite parks in the area.  

It was a beautiful day to get out, and a beautiful ride on this very fine Saturday morning!

 

Back to the Museum (August 12, 2022)

Back from a few days out of town and took a ride on this cool (57 wonderful degrees) Friday morning. I had seen where the museum had put the KC-135 which arrived a few weeks ago, on display, and rode out to see it. That is in the 3 photos below, as well as the other plane. Though an aviation fan, going to have to wait to see the sign on that unusual plane at the bottom. 

It was an excellent ride!  

 

Aviation Ride 2 (August 4, 2022)

Rain on the way, but still clear skies this morning. Rode just after dawn, saw this big bird on the base, and the deer at Huffman Prairie Flying Field. Great place to ride and a good place to do it. Third day in a row, a nice weather bonus for a Thursday in Ohio. 

 

Aviation Ride (August 3, 2022)

Got out again ahead of rain later today. Saw these planes at left at the Air Force Base, visited the Wright Memorial, and the outside of the Air Force Museum on this beautiful Wednesday. Even got an "aerial' photo of Huffman Dam from the Wright Memorial. A fun ride, as they all are!   

 

Tuesday House Ride (August 2, 2022)

Took photo at left at the start of the ride, quick stop in the neighborhood. Last two I took at home, was observed by a woodland creature. Good to get out, upper 60's but very sticky. 

Rode down some twisty country roads, visiting some new places and roads. Got into a neighborhood by accident (the street sign said "Road" but some very cool houses such as the one seen directly below. Below that is the historic house at George Rogers Clark Park. The house in the park is very old, the one above it, much newer.

Good to get out, first time in the last few days and the first ride of August. Did 38 miles today, just a little out and about before the heat really builds.

Plan to ride again tomorrow, as we have a weekend trip coming up, and rain looking likely Thursday. Was as always wonderful and nice rolling on some British steel.
