After 30k - Halloween - 2021/10/31

Well, last we spoke the Helix had turned over 30,000 miles on the odometer but then I still needed to get home.


 Much has happened since then, that was 2 weeks ago.  Garden work, chicken chores, yard work, work work and as you might imagine, some riding time.  Without going back and checking the details, many afternoons saw me out, for a few of them I was averaging at least 50 miles for each episode.

There was a Community Ed class (ZOOM) that was fun about barn quilts and barn quilt tours in our region.

Up river from Lake City...

White Bean Chicken Chili and Jalapeno Cheddar Sourdough...

























Padding for eventual eggs...

Window panels to keep the cold winds out....

An afternoon of White/Black clouds and Bright Blue....

And with that ..... spotlight sunshine....








This poor tree....I've watched it over the years go from a proud example of its species....in the middle of a very large field on the hill to something just barely hanging on.  Its days are numbered.  I'll miss it.  The eagle will miss it.

Saturday at Diamonds....it was cold....the riders concerned about frost on any bridge decks.



















I was out today ....it was a very fresh ride!















Sounds like a cold week so I doubt very much that riding will happen.  I will be watching for some November days conducive to getting back on two wheels.  At this point it's far, far too early for a 2021 Pie Chart.

Happy Halloween!!
