Saturday, 10/25/25, Left to meet Faith Riders at 9:45, rode to St. John’s Cider Mill, West Branch chapter came there too, Fun time hanging out with friends enjoying good food, great cider and donuts and great fellowship,

We met at Meijer, and visited until everyone was there and it was takeoff time

Some beautiful color still in places along the way

There was a special place for motorcycles to park close.  A guy told us about it and then a group of people riding motorcycles came in right after us and it was our West Branch CMA chapter.  We were so happy to see each other!

Bill and I went in the cider mill and got donuts and hot apple cider.  YUM!

Isaac came and found us so we gave him our extra donut

All of CMA members got our picture by the bus....In the bus (lol) from right to left...Gary, Marie, me, Isaac, and Jerry
From left to right out of the bus Wes, Gayla, Carol, Don, Elaine, Bill, Barb, Ron, Brenda, In the green is they guy from Resurrection Riders..don’t remember his name, and then Bob is on the end.  

We got ready, made our coffee, read our Bibles, then left to meet Faith Riders at 9:45. It was 38 degrees out, but it was sunny with no wind which sure helped.  The heated seats on the bike, my chaps, extra layers and warm jacket kept me very comfortable.  I wasn’t cold, but would have enjoyed having it a little warmer.  We had a great ride and saw some beautiful color.  We were happy to be able to hang out some with the West Branch chapter.  It was pretty amazing to have them pull in a minute after us.  We had no idea they were planning on going there.  We walked around, then I got a shredded chicken breast sandwich with BBQ sauce on it and Bill got a hot dog.  They gave us chips with it and yummy dill pickle slices.  We didn’t eat breakfast so it sure tasted good.  After that we went through the bakery, we went and got donuts and hot cider.  That hot cider sure warmed us up.  Isaac came upstairs and found us and enjoyed the last donut.  We went back through the bakery and bought a delicous looking loaf of apple bread.  Can’t wait to try it.  Then we went and sat with Wes and Gayla and talked to them for a while.  After that we all got ready and left, except Barb and Ron stayed and walked around more and were going to ride home by themselves.  It was 52 degrees out, but clouds covered the sun, so it felt about the same temperature riding as it did this morning.  Not as much color the way we rode home.  Wes and Gayla invited us to come to their house for coffee, so we followed them home.  We enjoyed our coffee and had a great visit.  It was nice to spend time with our framily again!  

We rode home, and finished reading our Bible chapters for the day.  Then Bill decided to take a nap and I tried to too.  I couldn’t sleep, so warmed up some noodle casserole, then worked on my blog after that.  Vikki FaceTimed me so I could see Rehvyn climb up the slide.  He sure goes up it fast.  He sure reminds me of Kenzie when she did that.  He sure is saying words very clear now.  I especially love how he says Isaac and motorcycle.  

Below was him riding his stick pony.
