So finally the sun was out at the same time that it was sorta warm, so I took a first real ride of the pseudo-spring.
I headed out a favorite back road down into the valley along Route 50, over the East Fork River, and onto Stonelick-Williams Corner Road. There I came upon our restored version of the only remaining covered bridge in Clermont County.
The ride felt stressful rather than restful. I don't know why. There were a lot of motorcycles out. Big Harleys mostly. I got a lot of waves and grins but I was not feeling it. I wanted to hurry up and end the outing and the damn cell phone kept stopping me along the side of the road with calls from doctor's offices and transport services. I could barely understand what they were saying due to being outdoors in an open area.
Here are more pics of the decals on the scooter. The red stripes are reflective as are the Yamaha silver decals.
It was a nice day to get out but I was glad to get home. My butt and back hurt and I just was bored with it all, really. I am starting to wonder if my scooting days are just about over. I don't know anymore and I am in no particular hurry to find out.
Anyway, it snowed the next day and the next and maybe that has something to do with my apathetic attitude. It is hard to feel joy and enthusiasm about doing any outdoor activity with these up and down temperatures.
Safe rides friends....

Deb, It may be just the time of year and everything weighing on you. I get very apathetic in winter and spring. Hard to find the zen in riding. Right now I am unfortunately dragging myself day to day trying to find energy, so I get it.
ReplyDeleteYeah and we are having some funky weather. It is hard to get the momentum going when it is 60 degrees one day and snowing the next!
DeleteSo glad you were able to get out for a ride in the sunshine and to a covered bridge too. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteOur next county over has many covered bridges. I am hoping to do a photo essay of those this year.
DeleteGood for you for getting out for a ride, sometimes we just don't feel it, it happens to all of us. The weather lately hasn't helped, warmer temperatures are coming.
ReplyDeleteCovered bridge photos are tough, we park aways from them so ours bikes are in the foreground and shoot from the ground up with the bridge as a back drop. http://troubadourtriumph.blogspot.com/p/covered-bridges.html
I think you have solved my "set up issues" with covered bridges! Thanks! Love your blog too!
DeleteWhere did you get that cup holder? We need one for our C3!
ReplyDeleteIt is a Huffy bicycle cup holder purchased at Meijer for $9.99. Bolts onto the handlebar.
