waterbug Posted October 18, 2008 Share #8 Posted October 18, 2008 they are changing here and also falling alot. I agree there doesnt seem to be very many fair weather riders out. I think I only seen two out friday on my way to work and maybe four on way home and it wasnt cold yet or at least not to me. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yama Mama Posted October 18, 2008 Share #9 Posted October 18, 2008 Southwestern Ohio is in full color. In fact, this could be the last weekend before the leaves are blown off. Actually, I am sure they all come into our yard. Yama Mama , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted October 18, 2008 Share #10 Posted October 18, 2008 Looks like we're not going to have a lot of color. Yellows and browns mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mraf Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share #16 Posted October 19, 2008 We rode to Earls for western NY meet'n eat. It was good to put faces to names. Looking to next year for future meet'n eats now that Old man winter is close to knocking. The fall colors too there are about played out. Quite a few trees already bare. Looks to me your area RSV Angel is the way to go. Nice pics. If weather holds out maybe a ride down through Pennsylvania, West Virgina will be in order.

mp66226 Posted October 19, 2008 Share #17 Posted October 19, 2008 Not much color here in eastern Kansas this year. Funny too cause it seemed to be a perfect summer (from what I've heard in the past) for trees to develop the sugars needed, cool summer, plenty of rain. Just rode to the little town of Baldwin, Ks. today for the "Maple Leaf Festival". The town and surrounding area filled with sugar maples, normally brilliant, this year just starting to turn brown. Oh well, beautiful day for a ride with my wife anyway, clear sunny sky, about 55 on the way out, 65 on the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
