A fine cool morning (50f) with little wind, and with a determination to fix or wreck my knee before my next Ortho appointment, I rode 20 miles with decent elevation (for me) of 1000'. October is a good weather month in my neck of the woods, and I've pushed my mileage before November's uncertain...

Pictures are from the last two day's rides...same route of 16 miles...Miz Hick's hard scrapple farm continues into this century...IDK the alpaca folks.

They were “normal“ 45 years ago

I took them for ICE on Pigeon patrol

Further afield today...the field was rimmed all the way around with these orange blossom specials. A mile or so along this road are the Seay's farms and houses. Seay road is some miles away and the road the pottery is on.

I read your initial post on the cassette and this morning sitting in my barn exhausted I looked across the way at the original wheels for my Allant9s mounted on a cross brace. The light was mostly from skylights and one cassette flickered with light. I like to think I saw the outer dark...

@RabH in a recent post I mentioned a Pottery. I sent a link to Fred the potter to see the pottery photos. He complimented your photos in a return email. I rode again today...pushing on a bad leg that nonetheless less feels better on the bike than walking to the barn. On the far brighter side my...

No frost on the pumpkins yet in Central VA but crisp this morning setting out. I rode over I64 and across Route 250 towards the James river through the honeyed part of Goochland. My first leg, Shallow Well RD begins near the above then penetrates eight miles through horse farms and fox-hunt...

I mentioned the crowd of vultures last week being harassed by a bald eagle. Here's a turkey vulture warming its wings in the sun on a post in my catch pen. I returned from a bit of unpleasantness at the VA in town in time for a breezy but warm (21c) ride. I believe the snake was just sunning.

For those who missed this video…it’s like a Charlie Chaplin skit…perfect in its mocking of Authority. AI Overview A food delivery rider in Chicago recently escaped from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents by using his bicycle to evade them. Separately, cyclists in Portland have...

Last week I saw the comedian Trei Crowder billed as the Liberal redneck. He mentioned that he had been to England on tour where he was generally unknown. After the show in conversation with the venue’s manager he asked if he could expect the same quiet reception in Scotland. “Oh my word no…they...

Another seductive beautiful morning where my right leg says to me "don't mind the limp and spasms last night, it was all a misunderstanding. Let's ride." I went deeper into the hinterlands than I have in a year. The cornfield with the harvester I posted last week on Bienvenue RD. a few...

Same beautiful weather as yesterday...70f, light wind...rode the same 15miles (mostly) in reverse and once again pondered how different the same road appears in reverse. Yesterday coming from the Potter's I missed this scene. I am introducing the potter to a local woodworker who markets his...

That’s more a smirk than smile. You can not hide your true feelings

A fine Sunday morning with mid-60s and no wind to speak of. this WAS a farm...still looks like it but a new generation has changed Rockville Farm to Innovation...IDK what that even means. I'd seen this new establishment (and new home in front) the last few years and today was riding past...

Central rural VA near the Oilville interchange (I 64) west of Richmond going towards Charlottsville

I think the eagle was bullying them from a carcass. Usually they stick to the James River area about 7 miles away. With deer season coming they will be scavenging gut piles and the wounded that evaded the hunters
