Ron has been riding ‘forever,’
admitting that he has been riding since before it
was necessary to have a license to ride a motorcycle and Joanna has just
started riding this season. Joanna rides a VStar so I knew we’d hit it off.
Our first stop, the local farmer's market. I bought radishes as big as apples (sorry no pictures, I ate them already), Ron bought jam.
Ron and Joanna are both Port Perry area artists and our plan
was to visit the Bancroft Art Gallery to catch a glimpse of artist Gretel
Boose show of sculpture and paintings and of course to have lunch (whoops, ate that too!)

No, really? Is the time for long distance riding over already? It's a bit sad.
ReplyDeleteI look at your map and think, oh yeah, I want to be there for the Fall Foliage. I am sure you've seen it many times but I have just seen it once...
Sonja, my days are numbered. Four more sleeps and it's back to work with most weekends being taken up by preparing for the next week. It would be a beautiful fall colors ride though...you've got me thinking!
DeleteLooks like a fun day out!
ReplyDeleteSo... you're going to have some long day rides this fall, right?
It was a fun day ... and there will be some 'longish' fall day rides, but the days are getting shorter with every morning - sigh!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you managed to get out for a long day ride before the weather turns. Hope it wasn't a scorcher. But does it have to be the "last ride" ? Many more weekends before summer is officially over.

Riding the Wet Coast
ps: dyfycy ?
It turned out to be a bit of a scorcher (felt good.) It's not the last ride, just the last official long ride of summer 2013. My summer is officially over in about 79 hours. But luckily I downloaded all my summer memories to enjoy and gaze at all winter long because No, dnfmcy. (How cryptic!)
DeleteIt looks like a wonderful end to the summer riding season. But I guess the bills need to be paid somehow. Too bad "work" gets in the way of all of our other activities...
ReplyDeleteThank you for no radish pictures as I don't like them anyway, but no lunch photos?
Hopefully, I'll get in at least one longish ride this summer...
Richard, it was a perfect way to end the summer, "officially." The radishes were ginormous, good thing I didn't show them to you and I ate my lunch so fast you would have hardly had time to know it was there.
DeleteYou've got a few days of summer left - hope you have the weather to get out and enjoy it (I still have fall, but think you may pop back into winter much quicker than the rest of us.)
It looks like a fabulous day riding with friends.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your last free weekend before school starts.
Thanks Trobairitz, it was so wonderful to have one last little taste of freedom. This weekend is special ... a big fourth birthday happening then two of us will be starting school September 3 -BIG DAY, I'm scared :-)
