This past weekend a few of us from the local bike club revived a former tradition
of a fall ride in neighboring Barry County to enjoy the colors of Michigan in the fall.
Fortunately the ride was uneventful, I had put together a selection of 5 routes
through the Yankee Springs Game and Recreation Area.
Most chose the metric century except me, whose slower speed was
decreased by the lingering congestion I have suffered from the
virus I caught a week or so ago.
Even though I lagged behind and cut off at 35 miles, I was able to enjoy some of the
wonderful vistas,
and colors the country side had to offer.
Most of the roads were through rolling forest lands with some mild
climbing and high autumn hues dappling the hills.
I was treated to this really unusually colorful view of a natural pond just off the road in the game land.
In all it was a relaxing ride for us and a comfortable way to reestablish a tradition
which had fallen by the side of the clubs schedule.
