Sail on Silver Girl

Eight foot Six inches

Perfect weather for a ride today. Through Lake County along the back roads to Lake Geneva in Wisconsin. Pear blossom highlighting the hedges, countless bikers on the roads. Smashing!

Lakefront

FIRE & water

December ride along the many blue hued waters of Lake Michigan. The horizon line was a dark edge under a crisp aired sky. Some turquoise colors were spreading towards the beach and bluffs of the Northshore. Good ride.

Autumnal Hues

Let the good air flow

I needed to get the wheels spinning under me and clear fresh Fall air blow cobwebs away. Blue October sky like a bluebirds wing, trees painted with a fiery splash. It always livens the senses when the leaves last hurrah of the season flares.

Smiles for miles

I wore the open-face helmet to ensure the sensations were keenly enjoyed.

Wisconsin Roads are made of cheese

Of the finest kind.

Beautiful weather today and a great 200 miler over into the Kettle Moraine area south west of Milwaukee. Smooth rolling triads through elephant eye high corn. Stopped for a fine late breakfast at Whitewater, a pleasant wee town with historical downtown. Key Lime cheesecake was a fine accompaniment to the meat-lovers skillet! Good mates to ride with!

Gadding along LSD

Cycling marshaling

Another year helping take the photographers and race marshals around the cycling course up and down Jean-Baptiste Pointe DuSable Lake Shore Drive. Weather just right for the dry stages but the swimming outset was canceled due to choppy conditions.

The road to mysen.

Burlington & Racine

Sounding like a railroad line…

todays jaunt saw us hoofing it into Wisconsin to find some good sweeping country roads. Through the quiet town of Burlington where we stopped to have coffee to the lakefront harbor at Racine.

Good weather was enjoyed too.

By the Tail

Cats enjoying a quiet moment together. The red accents of the current sport version of Triumphs feline Moto gives it a splendid level of pizzazz. Ginger kit like the look too!

Gurning

New Boots

No horse collar to frame my grin. Just my new tires (tyres) for the Tiger. Easiest way to tote them to the garage at work. These are Shinko’s with a 90/10 tread (road/trail).

View of the City

An early morning scoot down DuSable Lake Shore Drive before 4th of July crowds started to make their way to the beaches and parks. Stopped for my favorite view of the skyline. Warm day but a cool breeze wafted from a still Michigan.

Ride to Work Day

Upper Wacker Drive

With quieter roads on this Juneteenth holiday the Tiger became my wheels into the City. Nice spin along the lakefront on LSD and riverside on Wacker. Pleasant light through the buildings too.
