Day Ride for Curves and Fall Colors

Columbus Day allowed us a chance to sneak out.  Lisa wasn't up for riding in the cold unless it was to chase some great Fall foliage.  Upper 40's and a ton of wind led to us needing to bundle up and hang on.  So around here, Fall colors and great riding mean Starved Rock.

First stop, just couldn't resist the old Schlitz sign.  You know how it is...


The tight turns of Starved Rock were just awesome with sun, color, and dry roads.  We really poured into turns and the connie was running great to power through.


After a short stop in Utica for a warm up and a drink, we headed back.  Here are some more colors at Shabbona Park - site of the Indian Creek Massacre.


Five hour ride capped off with a stop at the local grocery for rum and apple cider.  Great day to ride and a great time to warm up!
