Memorial Day Ride (May 26, 2025)

Another sunny day, once again took advantage. Rain expected the next few days after today. Took this and the photo below at Huffman Prairie Flying Field. This is where the Wright Brothers perfected their airplane from the Kitty Hawk Flyer. Nice place to visit and usually there are deer (but not today). 

Rode out also at the beginning of the ride in Enon where I saw the double decker bus. Traffic today was very light and enjoyed that. Took off down some country roads during the ride and had a wonderful 35 mile cruise on a fantastic Memorial Day. Remember the Fallen on this day!    

 

Sunday Ride (May 25, 2025)

Finally got out yesterday under sunny skies after days and days of rain. It has been one rainy Spring here in Central Ohio. More rain on the way, but this weekend is looking dry and taking full advantage. 

Rode out to New Carlisle Airport, also ran an errand while out in that town. From there rode down some country roads. Not open, but stopped at Indian Creek Distillery to get this photo. Looks like they are expanding there, which is pretty cool.

Made a ride through Carriage Hill Farm, which is a favorite park in the area. Always enjoy visiting there. 

It was a good ride, did some 40 miles. Temperatures are cooler than usual for this time of year, but had my cold weather gear on and enjoyed the ride as always!   

 

Tipp City Ride (May 18, 2025)

Got out Sunday for a ride, haven't been out for over a week due to severe weather which gave us a two-day break before starting up again after Sunday the 18th.

Ride was nice though, temperature in the 70's and the winds had also died down from the 40 mph gusts of the day before. Rode out to the New Carlisle Airport to see some of the planes flying there.

Haven't been to Tipp City, Ohio for awhile, but made a quick stop there. For one its a beautiful ride there, for another a lot of historic sights there. 

As for the ride did some 40 miles and enjoyed every one of them. With this wet weather, rides of late are few and far between, but I enjoy them when I can.   

 

Young's Dairy Ride (May 10, 2025)

 

Took a Saturday morning ride to Young's Dairy on a beautiful Saturday morning. Was a great day to be out, much warmer than yesterday and a beautiful day. 

Enjoyed feeding the goats and seeing the cows. Neat farm with a lot of cool things to see, including a neat and new merrie go round, and ball batting cages. They also have a very cool restaurant in there and homemade ice cream which is very good. The Dairy is located in Yellow Springs which is a favorite area to ride in.  

Running Errands (May 9, 2025)

Back from vacation (see Ohio and Me blog page) and took a nice ride to run some errands on my favorite mode of transportation. 

Stopped at Fairborn while out by some new art work there and rode around for awhile. After all, has been a few days, but a very good ride on a cooler than normal day. Not bad though was dressed for it. On the way home, saw this very cool old car by an auto repair shop and got the photo below. 
 

Last ride of April (April 30, 2025)

Beautiful day to get out on this last day of April. A bit cool with temperatures in the lower 50's, but I was dressed for the ride. Got out once again in the country (which is very nearby frankly). Rode through George Rogers Clark Park, visited some cows on farms and even saw an aircraft at the local airport. Backroads rides even took me to the edge of Springfield once again. 

It was a wonderful day to get out, covered some 30 miles and enjoyed every one of them. 

 

Sunday Ride (April 27, 2025)

After a couple of test rides over the last few days, took a 40 mile ride on a beautiful Sunday. Rode out through some beautiful backroads, and took a ride through Snyder Park in Springfield, Ohio. Stopped for a photo there, seen at left. 

Later went by George Rogers Clark Park, the house in the photo at bottom dates to the mid-1800's. Did not ride through the park, but have often and certainly will again.

Was a wonderful ride and had a great time. As always thanks for visiting my pages
