I had sent out an email to the WOW group to see if anyone wanted to take a ride to southern Ohio to do the Fall Festival of Leaves mapped out routes. Had two takers, one canceled and so it was just Susan and I. We meet at Der Dutchman and had cinamon rolls for breakfast. Thought we were going to be so close to Dru, I called her and she would like to join us. She had gotten the email just that morning and thought it was to late. We meet her in London and then head south on 38. When we got to Washington Courthouse we stopped for gas and the got onto 753. In Greefield we got on 41 took it till Upper Twin Rd. Was a great road with beautiful scenery. I just can't describe the enjoyment of taking a new back road that twist around and you have no idea what is around the corner. I love it. On this road we came up a steep hill and all of a sudden it opened up to where you could see for miles down a valley. We stoped to take pictures. Got to route 50 and turned right and headed into Bainbridge to get gas and lunch. We ate at Timbers, was ok nothing real special but was busy with home town atmasphere. Then we did our south loop which took us to Pike Lake, stopped there and enjoyed the lake for bit. Turned left onto Egpt Hollow Rd. There were protions of the road that were completely covered in leaves. Was awesome, but the road kept getting smaller and smaller, it was like hiking in the woods on a motorcycle. Eventually it turned into gravel, which was kind of scary because it was also hilly and curvey. This road came to an end at the top of a hill, my heart was racing, we turned right onto Greenbriar Rd. then to Jester Hill Rd. which took us into Bainbridge. So now we have one more loop and I hope there is no more gravel.
Straight thru Bainbridge onto 41 turn left onto Falls Rd. Left onto Rapid Forge right onto 50, left onto Cave Rd. Sure enough it turned into gravel, I stoped and asked Susan and Dru if they wanted to turn around, I thought by the gps we would have about a mile until we turned again, they were game to continue on. It feels so good after going slow on gravel to hit pavement and take off to normal speeds. We soon hit 41 and take it back into Bainbridge and then head for home. I think I got home around 5:30 but boy was I beat. Nice birthday ride.
