Quick day ride

Went for a quick ride on some local roads with Darrell this morning. He was in the neighborhood and dropped by for a cup of coffee, and we headed out for a ride and some lunch (thanks again Darrell!) Beautiful day out and not too much traffic on the roads we were on, all in all a good time.

Beautiful day out and not too much traffic on the roads we were on, all in all a good time. Great to hear. Any photos?  When we go riding we often forget to memorialize the event with photos ...I too went for a ride before lunch as it was a beautiful day here as well. But the "weather" is coming back now that the effect of the "cold front" that came through on Wednesday wears off.

GG, no photos unfortunately (I'm bad about that). It was really nice here about 75 degrees and low humidity, very clear views to the horizon.

Our first trip to Texas in 87 we went to Harlingen to watch the Commemorative Air Force show ( Confederate Air Force back then) and the locals kept telling us a cold front was on the way. Several days later we asked when it would arrive and they told us it already passed. We never noticed it

Chris, if Debbie can ride we'll meet a group in Yellville for 4 days.
Stop by one of the afternoons if you want. Here's the motel https://www.thecarltonmarioninn.com/ If you want to stay there were 4 rooms left as of a couple days ago. There's a dozen or so of us. The only thing organized is the date and motel.

FWIW, I did Ohio today and will return to St. Louis late tomorrow night by way of Chicago and Southern, WI.

Lee, weather permitting (looks like rain the next few days) I'll try to drop by one afternoon are you and Debbie going to make it?

Looks like rain a couple days. We went for a ride last week to make sure her foot can handle it. She thought she would be ok. Backing up was painful but I can take care of that.
