“I could never in a hundred summers get tired of this.”

One last summer hurrah
That is all I need
Til the season rolls around again
And I am on my steed
Summers tend to feel short in Wisconsin, but we northerners take advantage of the season as much as possible. Biking buddy and I had two wonderful days of wheeling in the sun over the past weekend, with unseasonably mild temps in the 70’s and 80’s F. Summer held off until yesterday, when cooler air arrived and September felt like autumn. I’m not putting the bike away yet, but at least I’ll have the photos in today’s gallery to look back on over the winter months and dream of the possibilities for next year’s warmest season. Photos are from the Interurban Trail in Ozaukee County, the shores of Lake Michigan and a microbrewery.

That fishing pier is interesting–no rails?! Is it attached to the other pier that goes straight out?
There’s a concrete wall in the middle and a rail runs along it for awhile. I wouldn’t recommend anyone unsteady on their feet walking out too far.
I’m with you, but it sure is fascinating! Thanks, Mary.
What a beautiful area,. I love riding my bike around water, and the lake is so pretty. I love the sunset (rise) photo. I hope you enjoyed a good brew and I hope you have several nice days left before fall starts to feel like winter.
That was a sunset photo, Dan. We were at a park on the lake, watching a buck travel through and hoping the mosquitos wouldn’t show up until after we left.
I love biking aling Lake Michigan, whether it is in Milwaukee, Port Washington, Manitowoc or Door County. There’s something special about the waves crashing on shore, the smell of the mist and this time, the turquoise color of the water. So beautiful and peaceful!
What wonderful memories to keep you warm for the winter months.
There are always great memories with my biking buddy, Pam. It’s about places, shared experiences and the ease of our friendship. We’re already thinking about next year’s travels.
Gorgeous, Mary! I wouldn’t want that to end either.
It’s hard to let go of biking vacations. They are always a fun time!
Looking good. Maybe some large prints posted around home will get you through the winter. 🙂
That’s a great idea, Judy! 🙂❤
Terrific shots, Mary. I haven’t biked in a while, but am wondering if I should rent one soon and take it for a spin. In the tropics, we have perpetual warm weather, so other than the covid surge, I have no excuse to stay at home.
Thanks Damyanti! I think you should do it…get on a bike and ride, and enjoy your surroundings. 🙂
