    Beautiful day in the Ohio River Valley today -- about sixty degrees warmer than five days ago! And the rest of this week is looking cloudy with scattered showers, so I charged up the bike and put 90 miles on it, my first ride of 2019. Googlemaps found me a vineyard about 40 lovely twisty miles north of me. I went with a B&W picture because off season. You can see the vines in the background. Also I figured out how to do the panorama setting on my camera.



    Also, I discovered I'm badly in need of a new rear tire. I have about 6,500 miles on this one.

        Pretty sure Kerry is the pastor of that church. I'm sure that didn't hurt.

          Someone needs to put a Bike Bandit Gift Card in the Offering basket! Haha. I would if I lived closer... maybe next summer. �� It would be fun for a bunch of GSR'ers to attend one of Kerry's services. �� You think they'd allow a Lutheran? Haha

            I meet monthly with a few other pastors, including a Lutheran. In fact, "the Lutheran" is his last name. Carl the Lutheran. It just sounds right. Not like Kerry the Methodist or even Pat the Presbyterian. Carl the Lutheran.

            All y'all are welcome. Lutherans, Methodists, Catholics, "nones". It's all good.

              I wouldn't do that to Kerry's church. Place would likely catch fire if I walked in and sat down...

              I have no pictures of vineyards, nor orchards. Weather still sucks too bad to go find one...

              This coming season, I plan to take a lot more pictures on my outings...

                Without interrupting the proceedings too much, Let me give you a testimony: Brake hard on a tire like that and it will go sideways real easy.

                  Sandy, thanks for the orchard allowance. We do have vineyards in NJ and NJ wine is a thing, but the only picture I have of one has no bike in it.

                  Wemrock Orchard. The building in the background is historic in nature, but I'm not sure if it's to be restored, or if nature is being allowed to take over. If the barns not pictured are an indication, it may be the latter. Apple trees on the left. This spot is adjacent to Monmouth Battlefield.

                    Every year the Vernonia Lions Club travels to the Helvetia Winery to set up their big top which they use for outdoor events. They make a donation and we have fun. The first pic is the winery and the second the tent. The first is the entry.

                        Gee, Bob, that's terrible. I hope you have a chance to redeem yourself for that beautiful horrible picture.

                            Hey, Bob,
                            Thought I would have some fun with your idea .

                            I found this all was more of a challenge that I first thought it would be. But had some fun anyway.

                            This IS NOT an entry.

                                Let me know if I missed any.

                                I included Bob baatfam's composite picture (made from two pics) as there is no rule-agreement against it (but dont let this be the precedent).

                                Hey, we are just having fun here, to see the pictures and share the fun, and enjoy the photographic talent.
