Up in the Great Lakes Region the weather is a quite comfortable 16C or 61F so I took advantage and went for a day long ride.
It is Halloween after all so I thought I would check the cemetery for any early movement.
The leaves are late in changing colours around here but finally we are seeing some splendid colours. I took these shots at a village called Hungry Hollow. It seemed appropriate for Halloween.
A lot of the area is still green so I find to get a good feel for autumn you have to get right into the woods to absorb the scenery.
I much prefer to ride in the fall. This way you can wear all the gear and not become uncomfortably warm. Todays ride lasted about 6 hours, but I only registered 275 kilometers. I took the time to stop and smell the roses, especially since after this week, the riding opportunities up here will become rare.
I stopped in Ailsa Craig to get a slice of homemade pie at a local eatery. I come here a lot. Always a top notch treat. Since it is Halloween, I start making my way home so I can get there before 6:00 oclock to hand out the goodies. I only made one stop on the way home and that was at my Suzuki Dealership in the town of Forest. Talking to the salesman, he tells me he is dropping all motorcycles sales; parts and service. They also sell Victory motorcycles. They are concentrating on ATV's; snowmobiles and farm equipment. It's too bad because they always treated me right.
One more pic from a bridge on the way home.
