Most know that I usually travel with my spouse. His back is out and i needed some wind. So off I went...had a general direction, but, he has the gps on his bike...so i just rode.... I ended up along the niagara river... found a little restaurant on the water and ice cream stand...  there was also a little park that also described that they used this area to take slaves across to canada ....  and of course a boat launch....  kept riding along the shore to a little town - olcott on lake ontario   and no ride report is complete without.....  Well home now....but, it was a nice day of just wandering aimlessly..... wasn't always sure where I was... I just headed in a direction. Need more days like this.......  |

Beautiful ride report.....my favorite rides are the "seat of my pants" kinds where I don't really know where I'll end up.....just take a direction and see what it brings......I also need more of those, especially here lately.......  |

Great ride report, I'm jealous. Next time you feel like riding, head southwest and give me a holler.  |

Best rides are when yer just wandering... Too often, when ya have a destination, you don't take time to take it all in. Nice report Black Dog |

Like others have said Deb, the best rides are without GPS. Rode a while yesterday for Mothers Day and really enjoyed it. Tell D to get well, back problems are terrible. Hay  Jimmyt |

People sometimes don't understand when I tell them how much I enjoy ridding all by myself. Not a loner or anything but sometimes it's just nice.
Thanks for sharing.
