11th Annual Mich Fall Color R-t-E

[DeansZG]

COGnoscenti;
With the Fall season getting started, the daylight is waning, mother nature has finally started to "dial-down" the thermostat a bit!  At least we'll be able to enjoy suiting up for the ride instead of feeling like you're in a sauna!  Hopefully though, with this year's hot summer, we'll see some spectacular colors on all those maples out there in the countryside.
There is only one ride remaining here in Michigan for the '11 riding season.....so.....come on out & enjoy nature's pallet if you get the chance. It's always nice to make new riding friends as well as enjoy the company of those fine folks that you've known for years!

  Well............... the day started out a bit damp, but the forecasters were promising sunshine so...... 11 of us got together for some great food at Klavon's pizzeria just a bit north of Jackson, Mi.  Gil & Debbie Fuentes, Ivan & Linda Woodham, Steve Wilner, Mike Thompson, Stan Visser, Randy Tata, Chris Messenger, Larry Carter, & myself.

Had to dodge some forest rats west of Chelsea on the way there, but no other drama from the creatures of the woods.

The sun finally made an appearance about halfway through lunch & at least it was a bit warmer for the return trip.

Here's a few pics;
