To Holmes County and Back

This morning I pulled in the drive at Ryan's house a little after 8am.  KT and Daniel were out of town for the day so a longer road ride was on the schedule.  We picked another route into Holmes County, similar to the one we rode last Sunday but today's route took us south and then east instead of west.

Take the time to ask the questions.

From Apple Creek we rode down to Winesburg.  An early start was a good idea because the cooler temperature and slightly overcast skies were quite enjoyable.  We continued on through Trail and ended up in Charm.  By this time it was feeling warmer and we had both drained our two water bottles.  Ryan took our bottles into Keim lumber for refills from their drinking fountain.

The windows are clean at Keim Lumber.

From Charm we rode north through Mount Hope and on back to Apple Creek.  This part of the ride was hot, the clouds broke and the sun beat down.  For the past couple months it's hardly worth looking at the weather forecast.  It's always the same, hot with a chance of scattered thunderstorms.

Glad to have tinted glasses for the second half of the ride.
