Early Saturday D-Day Memorial Ride (June 6, 2020)

Early morning photo above before the motorcycle ride today. I like the dawn and good to get out early with the heat building up today. Got more photos on my Racing with the Wind page, but visited for the first time Cedarville. Saw the opera house there (which dates to the 1800's) and the unusual tomb in the local cemetery. Stumbled across Clifton Mill which is amazing to see at Christmastime. It was a wonderful 65 mile ride. Got going early today as expecting some serious heat and humidity.
Fun to see some new places and cover some new roads. I also visited Xenia and Springfield again. While in Springfield got a nice complement on my motorcycle. Nice, though can't take any credit but do appreciate the machine and certainly enjoy riding it.
Covered some 65 miles today with a few more miles on the morning walk. Day is off to a remarkable start.
This being June 6, it is the anniversary of D-Day, when the Allies landed on the beaches of France to liberate the world from the clutches of the Nazi monsters. My grandfather was part of the American forces that took part in that, many years ago.
