9-20-06 Late summer ride




The cold spell has finally passed and with a southeast wind I had to get back on the bike. Decided to take the camera along in case I saw something nice to post. When I got to my favorite workout trail, I had to stop and get off and take a few shots of the trees in the valley and how much they had changed since last weekend. My thermometer said it didn't freeze yet at my house, but it got within one or two degrees.

Just rode about 16 miles this afternoon, but felt good to get some of the stiffness worked out after sitting in front of the computer all day. And I wasn't alone, the trails were full of kids going home after school, and adults riding bike, walking dogs and roller blading.

Am not looking forward to winter, so every ride these last few days of summer seem kind of precious in a weird way.
