The season in Rhode Island is definitely getting colder but my neighbors and I got a chance to go riding on both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday's ride was a clockwise loop of Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut (starting in RI at roughly the 3 o'clock position, green pin "A" on the map): ride west and slightly south in RI until just after crossing the Connecticut border then hook a right at Canterbury CT -- green pin "B" -- and head due north to a restaurant in Pomfret CT -- green pin "C"; stop for some lunch and heat, then head east back to Providence and a small coffee shop -- green pin "D" -- before heading home (map is below). A little over 100 miles in total.



My bike in the driveway, first one up in the morning. Very New England fall morning: leaves on the grass in the lawn, road slightly wet from a brief overnight shower, sunrise colors on the bike.



The bikes lined up ready to head out. That Ducati Diavel is a monster it is so quick, and the Shadow is a great bike as well.



Stopping at the Vanilla Bean restaurant (we were getting pretty cold by then). This restaurant is great and caters to bikers, well worth a visit if you are in the area. The north / south Route 169 in CT is very beautiful.



Unfortunately no pick of the coffee shop at the end!

Cool! Eclectic group of bikes. Have you ridden the Diavel? I've sat on one and it was very comfortable.
