I rushed through the various chores and called a friend. "Ya Ready?" I asked? She said that she would be by the time I got there to pick her up. I ran late as I drove through the four lane traffic jam in Northern Columbus. But finally arrived to pick her up. She was very young when her father had taken on the back of a bike, so I had my challenge to make this a great trip.
The weather continued to cooperate, and we took a wide range of roads; residential, city, country, highways. We rode through a state park (parts of which were closed because of govt shutdown) and saw some vibrant trees showing their autumn splendor. We hit a bar in Waldo known for their bologna sandwiches. It was a great fall ride and great company.
