A Big Loop: Apache Junction-Globe-Lake Roosevelt-Young-Payson-Mesa.

I'm a definite maybe...looking at booking some more work around this time still, but should that fall through, I'll be there!

And I'm out...booked some work that has me traveling on Saturday....if you want to do it earlier in the week, I'm game!

https://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Payson+AZ+85541 Wear your long underwear, install liners in your riding gear and if you have heated gear I suggest you bring it along; I'm packing my Widder electric vest with me. Only 62F in Payson this coming Sunday 11/16, much too cold for we AZ Zonie Desert Rats! JSNS!

https://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Payson+AZ+85541 Only a high of 49F in Payson Sunday 11/16, with partly cloudy conditions. Dress accordingly! Dry road conditions!

From Goldfield Chevron, through Superior and Globe, to 288, and on up to Young, it was a great ride to the Antlers Grill for lunch! It was a bit cold, but it felt pretty good after the incessant heat of summer. The food was great at the Antlers, as usual. Peach cobbler and ice cream for dessert. Mmmmmm!

Then, Don, Hal, and I continued through Young up the 512 to the 260, through Payson, to the 87, to home.

On the 512, me in front, Don second:

The worst part of the ride was getting stuck in traffic near Fountain Hills, due to the triathlon. Ugh. I even got to practice a panic stop. Got home about 5:15. What a great riding day!

Thanks, Don!!

Hal and I went to Workman Creek on Sunday to shoot the beautiful fall foliage. Hal shot with the color camera, and I shot with the IR camera. Here are some of the images we found:
