Title: olfactory benefits of rural dawn riding!
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on February 04, 2025, 05:13:29 PM
I was riding along on a misty dark morning a few days ago when I passed a farmhouse set close to the road.
It was pitch dark and an hour before sunrise - yet when I passed I smelled the aroma of a woodburning fireplace ..... and bacon!!
Can't lie - that made me smile!

Some lucky mornings I get the added flavor of pastries from these guys.....

It's all good!

Serious comment now, my best ride for scents was one early summer's morning taking eldest daughter to South Wales.  About 7:00 am winding along a valley floor in mid-Wales taking in the smells of dew-laden fresh mown grass (from a silage cut?) made it a "great to be alive" day.  Helped by the superb road as well and the old faithful Daytona 955i which was performing faultlessly as usual.

I never tire of the dawn smells in rural Ohio.
At cutting time/harvest time it is really special!

Even the cow poop makes me smile.

You're right Stig it all adds to that Zen-like calm that comes on a good ride.  Always improves my mood.
