Wanting to go somewhere different, I headed to Utica Ohio this morning to the Velvet ice cream festival. Today they had the Goldwing ride in (but all bikes were welcome) I fired the VTX up at 8 am and headed out,,,taking my time my first stop was Rushcreek lake ,where a few fishermen had a good start on the day., Then it was off to Buckeye lake where I rode around for awhile before heading to the festival.
The festival was a good time, they even had a horse drawn carriage ,,but who am I kidding,,I went for the bikes,,and ICE CREAM!!!!
The ride home was just as nice, going down rt. 13 I spotted the Dawes Arboretum,,ok for a change of pace I pull in and take the auto tour. It was much better than I expected,,with an observation tower (there goes my fear of heights again) and the cypress swamp,,it was a nice change of pace.
Almost home, on rt. 22 I swing out to pass slower traffic,,thats when I see the Highway patrolman,,,66 mph in a 55,,yup,,120 dollar ticket ,,,just my luck,,91 degrees out and he had no sense of humor...
