A late fall ride!

That's right, the temp was pushing 50 around lunch time (OK, maybe that's being generous)yesterday so we couldn't resist. The wife and I bundled up, jumped on the bike and hit the road for a little while. We cruised up into the "hills" stopping at the Granville General Store for some of their famed store made cheddar cheese (it's worth the ride). We met a couple of great folks, Terri and Paul. Both are locals. Paul was riding a beautiful Victory and used to ride with Terri's husband Ernie, who I learned passed away from cancer not too long ago. I guess Terri has never ridden herself, but has been seriously considering it. We let her jump on Christine's V-star 650 to "try it on for size". Nice fit! Hope to see her on the roads next year!

We fired up the bike and headed down Route 189 into Granby, CT and finished a nice little loop back to the house. It was a little cool, but a perfect day for a short ride! Any excuse to get on the road...
