    On my ride today I saw the sloop "Clearwater". It is a 106 foot gaff rig sloop that was built in 1969 by the musician Pete Seeger. He and his wife had it built in South Bristol Maine for environmental research, education and advocacy to help preserve and protect the Hudson river.

            Stress relieving ride...
            Late in the season when riding on borrowed warmth I usually take a relaxing ride and contemplate the passing of the summer. Not so tonight. I headed straight out of town, hit the highway and cruised a steady 80 Mph focusing me on the moment and forgetting the aggravation of the week.

            All to take a picture of....
            A molar..



            Certainly a dumb goal, and not even in a nice area..... but fun.

            And this. ..

              I'm always amazed how a good description of an enjoyable ride can take me there in my minds eye. Thanks for the trip!

              You'd think with that giant guitar guy (Mariachi) that you rode down to The Land Of Enchantment, aka New Mexico.

                Yes it looks like the end of the warmer weather tomorrow. Also rain forecasted for the next few days so went out for a short ride this morning. Peak colors on our leaves now.

                    I was thinking that the tooth would have been a good riding game tag, but I had little interest in playing last night.

                        Thanks for having mercy on the game and not using that tooth. Can't think of another anywhere. Maybe a tooth shaped rock or something. We used to joke about the Cadillac Escalades with the iridescent white paint and how they look like a big tooth.

                          So after looking for a barber pole for the riding game I concluded that the barbers in my neighbourhood don't have them at all. So I did a small trip. The sun was out for most of the time bet as i stopped at a local decommissioned airfield strip the sun was gone.

                          This is the old airstrip, and the area is now converted to a nature reserve. (no motor vehicles allowed )


                          And here you can see two aircraft bunkers in the back.

                            Interesting. Would be quite tempting for me.

                              My morning so far:
                              38degF ride out for breakfast this morning.
                              SHort ride after.


                              And swung down and around by beach, wasnt gonna stop for photo, but all the gulls were posing for me.
                              Gulls are not at the beach as much as they used to be (is landfill now about 10 miles inland).


                              And I have to decide between:
                              Spend most of day raking leaves,
                              or just get started raking leaves then go for ride and stop at discgolf course,
                              or let leaves sit (heck, there will be more) and go for longer ride and stop at a more distant disc golf course (top ranked in US).

                              I will deliberate on that... so that I can come to a reasonable, practical, responsible decision.

                                Very nice fairing and paint on your bike!!!!
                                Looks OEM, I've never seen a GS with a fairing like that.
