To the Park! (August 28, 2023)

Third day in a row, but another beautiful day to ride. Headed out around some back roads in the area, but ended up in George Rogers Clark Park, which is a favorite destination located just outside of Springfield, Ohio. Ran into a pair of deer feeding there. They did not seem to be bothered that I was there, and I enjoyed seeing them. They are also setting up tents for the big Labor Day event which is just around the corner. 

It was a good ride, again as with the previous ride, not all that far, but 55 degrees, sunny and wonderful!

 

Overcast Sunday Ride (August 27, 2023)

Yesterday was a blast so thought I'd repeat for today. Skies though were not encouraging, but the 66 degree temperature got me out. Got in a 20 mile ride, and thankfully stayed dry from beginning to end. Got out on some country roads, which I tend to do, and enjoyed it a great deal. 

Was much earlier than usual, headed out at 7am. Traffic that time of day on a Sunday is almost nonexistent and to put it mildly, was just a wonderful ride. 

 

Saturday Deer Ride (August 26, 2023)

Haven't ridden for a couple of weeks, due to some medical issues which are now resolved. All clear now and a beautiful day to get out in the countryside. 

Saw the deer, which was different in that situlation, but still adorable. Saw a few more sights on my 45 mile ride. Went into some small towns, and down some two lane highways. Of note, did not see many cows on this morning ride. 

Weather was great and will be even better. Heat and humidity are dropping. I am planning to ride again tomorrow!

 

Cows and Planes (August 8, 2023)

Took the Triumph out on a beautiful afternoon. Rode around the area, down some country roads and into the woods for a while.

Rode out to see some cows and came across quite a herd not far from the New Carlisle Airport. There I saw a small plane doing touch and go's at the airport and got some photos of both.

Was a beautiful day to get out and greatly enjoyed the ride , as usual. 

 

New Carlisle Ride (August 4, 2023)

 

Nice morning ride, 66 degrees at 9am. Had some business in New Carlisle, which was pretty quiet on a Friday morning. 

Rolled from there down some of my favorite backroads and really enjoyed the ride. Very quiet out except for the sound of that beautiful vertical twin engine. 

Made a last stop at one of the lakes in the neighborhood before heading back home for the day. 

Englewood BBQ Ride (August 2, 2023)

First ride of August 2023, and another beautiful day here in Central Ohio. Blue skies and nice temperatures. Got out and headed up I-70 for a rare almost total highway ride. 

Had some business in Englewood, Ohio. Parked in Englewood next to a Harley-Davidson. Got things done, and headed out again to the nearby Company 7 BBQ . 

I really like that restaurant. Good people and excellent food as well as a really good selection of refreshing beverages of all types. Had a really good lunch there. 

After that headed back down I-70. Took a detour through Carriage Hill Farm. Though afternoon saw a couple of deer running though the woods. Could not get a photo as I was riding at the time, but enjoyed seeing them bouncing along. It was a fun day out on two wheels once again! 

 

Sunday Morning Ride (July 30, 2023)

Another beautiful Sunday and got out for a bit under blue skies and upper 60-degree temperature. Rode down some backroads and into Huber Heights for a bit. 

Have seen that car for some time, finally made a stop and got a photo. Not quite sure what it is, though it has a historic plate and says....1940, so that works for me.

Got a quick stop on the way home and visited the New Carlisle Airport. Total distance was some 30 miles and had a great time!
