Cliff Rd

This is a beautiful shot I took overlooking the Ohio River last night on the cycle club’s Tomb ride.  I was in North Bend, OH, on Cliff Rd, looking NE over the Ohio River with Kentucky to the South.  Unbelievably, the ride starts at river level and you have to climb to this point.  Then it’s a test of the brakes on the way back down… at least it is for me, many of the other riders zoom past and probably snicker to themselves about what a chicken I am.  I have gotten up to 40 mph on the bike but that was on a straight downhill with assurances from other riders that there were no surprises at the bottom.  If the road is curvy, I take it slow! 

 

Noisy neighbor update, I was woken up at 1:30 this morning by The Doors’ song “Break on Through (to the other side)”.  I loved that song back when I was a teenager.  However, now that I’ve reached my 40s and am trying to work a respectable day job and actually sleep at night, I was quite upset at the uninvited flashback.  Worse yet, the sound was coming through the wall that I have already paid a contractor to sound proof.  I guess nothing will stop a blaring stereo that is located right on the other side of the wall.  I may have to move into the guest room that is on the other side of the condo.  Things are not looking good for settling down… at least not at my present address.
