This evening Jaime and I rode our motorcycles west and south of Corvallis over the hills on Decker Road down to the Bellfountain Highway to Bellfountain. We stopped in the little hamlet to take a few photos in front of the church on our motorcycles. All of the trees are fully ablaze in color. Every corner we turned, ever hill we crested presented us with a fresh vista full of Fall.
On the ride back, the air temperature dropped with the setting sun. By the time we hit Corvallis, both Jaime and I were a bit chilled. Next time I go out riding, I will have to wear a thermal layer or two. The colder weather has arrived.
In related ride news, my oil level remains fine. There is no evidence of burning oil.
I also purchased gas today. 1.55 gallons for 72.3 miles which works out to 46.6 gallons. That would be the second worst fuel economy I have had to date. The worst was from the maintenance ride I had to do a few months back.
In total, my ride was about 54 miles. Jamie’s ride would be about 51 miles.
