That’s high praise. Thank you!

Dom, your riding is well beyond normal riding limits. Maybe there is a windspeed level you can operate within — no riding when the wind is over 90mph.

Well, it turns out that I apparently followed a small tornado back home one time….I remember thinking there was a lot of leaves and branches strewn about the neighborhood as I got home. Found out it was a small tornado, and all the houses near me and including mine had to have roof shingles replaced due to hail damage.

Happy New Year to you too Len. I hope you have some good weather ahead that might give you a chance to ride.

I see lots of horse and carriages here that the Amish use as their basic transportation. It’s hard for me to imagine a lifestyle that can deal with that pace not to mention the care and feeding of the horses. Wow….

Not being prepared makes most anything miserable. For me the physical preparation is far easier than the mental one. But the extra work often pays dividends in the form of joy and satisfaction.

Thanks! And a Happy New Year to you as well!

Loss would be a powerful reminder in many ways. I hope you find good memories of your time together fills your thoughts.

Rain isn’t for everyone. I don’t like being wet and cold so I will only ride if I can avoid both. Hard to accomplish sometimes. And freezing weather has all the problems you describe. I’ll probably ride in less of it this year. In part because I’m planning to get the scooter repainted and spruced up a bit which will take it out of service for awhile.

Those round bales have always fascinated me. Like them naked though — not wrapped in white plastic like big marshmallows.

It’s along Circleville Road from Scotia to Circleville Park where it disappears into the woods.
