Sunday and Monday Day Rides

[Lee]

Got out today to burn off the gas I put in my bike the end of Oct 2024.
I use Stabil, but fresh gas is even better and it felt good to get out for a ride.
Weldon Iowa
Old gas station


I should have taken a picture of main street. A gravel street in, a grass medium and a gravel street out.

Old depot




Many years I worked on projects south of Weldon and passed within 2 miles of town but never drove through town.
Weldon is east of hwy 69 between Osceola and Leon Iowa.

Humeston Iowa




I was trying to burn off old gas but at 60 mph the darn 1250 was getting close to 59 mpg

Part 2 (not sure if part 1 is showing)
I got Debbie's bike out yesterday. Arthritis has kept her off the bike.
First stop was Freedom Rock north of Greenfield Iowa. I usually visit this each each year around Memorial Day to see the new paintings.
A local artist paints the rock each year for Memorial Day. The Rock is 1.3 miles south of I-80.









Greenfield Strong 5/21/24 refers to the EF4 tornado that hit Greenfield last year. Greenfield is 20 miles north of us.
Four died and 35 injured. 153 home were damaged or destroyed.

Next was the site of the first train robbery in the west. Two miles SW of Adair.


Last stop was Bedford




Both days were mid to upper 80s F. Calm winds Sunday and 20 to 25 mph on Monday.

I’m jealous Lee. I haven’t been able to ride for four years now. Planning to put my bikes up for sale soon so they can continue giving their new owners as much fun as I’ve had with them.

Darn, sorry to hear that.

Lee, your photos make me want to ride back up to Iowa again. If I (we) do this summer, I'll call The Inn a few hours ahead of time to see if they have a room.
