Three hundred miles of peace. quiet, and cold. - Inhouse Bob - 10-30-2015
Actually, I rode 280 miles this morning, up to Skyline Drive and through a lot of the Shenandoah Valley and environs. Nice ride with only the mountaintop cold to challenge my serenity. Froze my butt up there! A couple of photos...

Photography isn't my thing, so the beauty is lost in the lens flare and such. But it was a beautiful day!

He's at the other end of the state or I would have. It's a long parkway :-)

Beautiful and I bet the ride was enjoyable. Well except for the cold.

Nice ride. Nothing like a peaceful solo to appreciate the often neglected beauty that surrounds us. Your photos are ok. I like that first one. Must have used a fill-in flash by the look of your front fork reflector. Keep them coming.
Cheers

Thanks. I dunno what the camera was up to. I push the button and it does it's thing.

Nice pics Bob. I wish it a bit cooler here, been in the mid 80's of late.

Looks pretty good, Bob. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Bob! A few pics of the scenery w/o the CB are ok too.

I'm always envious of these fall shots; it's one the things I miss the most after moving to Arizona. We have a very poor fall.
I added Cycle Gear's heated jacket liner and glove liners for times like that. Used it twice this past weekend when my skinny frame could not keep up with the heat loss via the wind. On the last day the morning warmed up quickly so it was not used very long but I'll tell you; cold can ruin your ride (you don't enjoy the ride and if you wait too long hypothermia sets in and your judgement goes to pot, muscles tighten up and you are unable to react like you need to - simply a bad thing all around) and having electrics was a godsend. Highly recommended. Just buy them when they are on sale.
