Nope not today, fresh snow.

A few days ago looking at my house.

I guess I don’t really expect a please or thank you when asking a question on an Internet forum. If someone answers my question I’ll often say thanks but not always. I think the “like” button or “thumbs up” button is used like a thank you.

It may be a while until I ride again. Out my front window about 4 hours ago and the snow is just starting to let up.

That’s what I do, a timer also.

I might be done for the year, rainy days replaced today with wind gusts up to 40mph and a high of 40 f. I’m hoping for a few more days I can ride before winter really hits.

I usually ride alone and so far have never been broken down. If I did I own a pickup truck and would call her to pick me up. If riding with somebody one of us would go get a vehicle and pick the other up.

Let’s face it the bike is really an electric motorcycle but if that’s what his son wants I’m not seeing anything wrong with it.

I’m sitting here drinking coffee after my ride listening to the classic rock station on Roku. Cloudy with a north breeze but about 52f so not bad. I rode 17 miles and had a little more elevation gain of 500 feet. A picture I took of an Amish horse team hitched up and tied to a post ready to...

I rode 13 miles into town today to run an errand, more or less just to get a ride in though. A typical fall today, windy and cool.

I rode 13 miles into town today to run an errand. 72 degrees and breezy, normal high is probably more than 20 degrees cooler. I didn’t think to get any pictures until I got home. My bike in front of my shop and a picture from three nights ago looking over the same building.

Finally had a decent day to ride, if the wind gets much above 15 mph I just don’t ride. It’s been over 20 mph several days until today. Most of my pictures show wide open flat farm country. This is a hilly wooded stretch I ride through on a regular basis. Anything in this picture that still...

31 degrees F here today, winds in the 20 to 30 mph range, no riding for me today. Next Saturday is suppose to be 70 so I haven’t given up yet.

@harryS I’m guessing you must live not to far from where I grew up, St. Charles.

I’m a retired land surveyor. Believe it or not there is a US Survey Foot and an International Foot. The difference is very small but when converting large metric numbers to feet it becomes important. Then there is chains, rods and varas.
