With Bob out of town last Wednesday evening, he was glad to see that a ride still took place, because we don't have many of them left. Dee was kind enough to write up a ride report for us. Here it is......
Wednesday, October 6, 2021
With our Fearless Leader Bob goofing off (golfing is goofing, right?),
many riders took a well deserved Wednesday night off, while others were
burning the evening oil to harvest a few more acres before the rain
predicted to arrive on Thursday.
Five riders did show up to carry on the tradition -- Irv and Roger on
their Harley trikes, Darrel and ChucK on their Goldwing trikes, and Dee
on the lone two-wheeler. Irv kindly took the lead and the rest of us
followed him on a 91-mile jaunt. We started east on Elon Road to
Harper's Ferry, north on the river road to Lansing, and west on 76 to
the Lycurgus Church. At the church, we rode north on Lycurgus Road to
New Albin, west to Eitzen, MN, and finally south on 76 back to Waukon.
Roger and Irv had to slow down to avoid three deer crossing the road,
and Dee was worried about a pup that looked anxious to cross (but stayed
safely in place). Otherwise the wildlife left us alone. As we rode south
on 76, we were treated to a spectacular red sunset in a crisp, clear sky.
It got a little cool on the leg from Eitzen to Waukon, but otherwise the
ride was lovely. All five of us met at the City Club just after 7 p.m.
for supper. The taco salad that Irv and Roger enjoyed looked really
tasty; it's on my list to try next.
The trees are still not quite at their peak of color, so if you can, try
to get out soon to enjoy the fall colors.

BONUS RIDE SUNDAY
Bob plans on leaving Casey's at 1 on Sunday afternoon for our "Bonus Run". Anyone who wants to ride along is welcome. Hopefully there will be more leaves turning for us to view. I also plan to stop somewhere for an ice cream treat! This is the last "special" ride for the season. 😞
