Labor Day MC trip

Linda and I took a short Labor Day weekend ride last week. We left after church on Sunday and came back Monday evening. It was a very uneventful ride. (That's a good thing!) But we did go back to a road that we hadn't been on since our wreck in 2003. State Road 135 is a great motorcycle road that runs from the south side of Indy to Corydon. We rode the stretch from Trafalgar to US 50. It runs along the eastern border of Brown County State Park. It was just south of there that we wrecked 5 years ago.

The trip took us through some very interesting towns. Places named Flat Rock, Gnaw Bone, Hangman Crossing, Freetown, Brownstown, New Elizabethtown. Fruitdale, Blooming Grove and Sunman. Dublin, Nebraska, and Butlerville. There was a Wesleyan church on S. Marion St. in Holton. A Free Will Baptist church in Negangards Corner. (How does a church plant start in Negangards Corner?)

All in all it was a great ride. Just under 300 miles. At one point, about where we crashed, I noticed in my rear view mirror that Linda had her arms up. (I thought she was hiding her eyes.) She was putting on sunscreen! She was relaxed enough on the curves that she was putting on sunscreen. It was good to have her that comfortable on the bike again.
