Took a week off but still need to write about last weekend...
Basically I went to my parents cottage near Crystal, MI so the ride was a long one since I live in Byron Center.
The ride took 3 hours both ways and it didn't seem too long, took about 1 tank of gas to go one length. Though I just dumped my extra gas I was carrying because I didn't feel like guessing how much further my moped could go, I'd hate to be in a tough spot and have the engine cut out due to the lack of fuel. Even though I was traveling thru the back roads, I've noticed that the whole trip was weird in the sense that heavy traffic appears out of nowhere. Even on roads where heavy traffic was supposed to be, it wasn't there while where the least traffic was expected wasn't always true.
Overall the trip on the way back was more enjoyable due to the fact that it was sunny and 70dF. The trip there wasn't that great, it was high 50's, low to mid 60's and it was very cloudy and was definitely on the cool side even with a long sleeve light white hoody. I traveled along roads that ran in middle of fields, in middle of woods, and a mixture of both in some instances.
When it was warm and sunny the differences in appearance of the land was great. I traveled along a road and didn't notice the beauty on the way there but on the way back a dark green field turns into multiple colors of green with hints of pink and purple flowers. Dirt even looks better in the sun, especially large expanses of it. That Monday would've made a canvas painter envious of the colors and light/shadows. Not to mention all the different smells, visual appeal was there but the smells of lilac seemed to flicker as I rode along. Even the smells of low lying marshy areas had a sweet musty smell to them. Though I didn't care for going by a pig farm all other farms though smelled nice.
Anywho, it was a long ride there and a great ride home in the sun.
