With salt free roads from Sunday's rain, temps in the high 50s and vacation time I have to take or lose, I took a ride. It was almost a near replay of the roads on which Rich lead us on his July ride. IMHO the best are route 31 south from Charlton, MA to Thompson , CT. Then 193 east to 169 south down to the Putnam, Pomfret CT area, Just beautiful!
I stopped at the Roseland Cottage in Woodstock to take a picture.
From there I continued south on 169 to 171 east to Putnam, where I stopped for lunch at the Main Street Grille. Nice little place.
When I left a little after 1, the temp had climbed to 60. But that's where is stopped. I'll take 60 on November 26th any day.
Meandered home on other back roads. 103 miles on the clock when I got home. The tank is full. The gas is stabilized and the bike got a thorough rinsing and blow dry. With the Christmas rush, I'm pretty sure that's the last ride of 2019 for me. We'll see.
