Yea baby New Years Day

[the Ferret]

wow mother nature treated us right today. Started off near freezing but climbed quickly into the upper 40's. Felt like spring ha ha. My brother and I take a traditional New Years Day ride (weather permitting) to set the tone for the year and today it permitted.

Met my brother at a little restaurant we like to eat at called Mama's

after lunch we headed across a road called St Rt 133 but old timers know it as Buffalo Trace as the Buffalo used this ridge to travel north south on their way too and from the salt licks in Kentucky. Once we hit the river road we rode east to a little town called Ripley where we stopped and watched the Mighty Ohio flow past for awhile while enjoying a cup of hot tea.

leaving Ripley we rode west down the river spotting a Bald Eagle sitting in a tree over looking the river, until we got back home.

Great day, great tradition got in 100.4 miles today. Tomorrow they are calling for 1-2" of snow again. Ahh the fun of living in the Ohio Valley. Don't like the weather? Wait 10 minutes and it will change lol. Bike is back on the battery tender until next time .......
