On the Ride - Looking at Me!

What a beautiful day for a ride on the bicycle! Got in just over two hours today and used the Alloy/Carbon Diamondback bicycle for the road today. A little overcast but the clouds started to break up before I got home, with temps in the upper 50's to lower 60's.

Fun thing about this time of year is the various levels of harvesting that are taking place. Most of the grass seed fields, wheat and other grains have been brought in. Beans are getting close to being done and Corn is still growing but also getting close to coming in and processed! But Ah! The vineyards are still a month or so out from the start of harvest. The vines are getting heavy with the different varietals that will be cut, smashed and carefully crafted into another fine vintage of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay maybe some Cabernet out there also. The eola hills in which we live in are great hills for growing the Pinot grapes and there is some really great wine that is produced just miles from my doorstep!

All that being said I could not pass up taking a shot of me in this convex mirror that is opposite a driveway. They use it as the driveway has to contend with a slight curve on a gradual sloping road (Hopewell Road, I believe) and this I am sure helps them from doing some dangerous pull outs. I thought it was just fun to take the shot!

Have a great week and thanks for stopping in. Tim -
