It looks like mine was was one of the warmer rides, is it was in the 50's F here this morning. Good rides, both to and from work both days. Yesterday I took the "back route," and turned my normally 3.75 mile ride into a 10 miler, for about 14 total miles. Today, I simply came back home, but enjoyed the ride very much.

Our Fall has not yet resulted in many leaves falling. The days are considerably shorter though, with the sun low. Yesterday it was out, and I wore my safety/sun glasses for the return ride. 'Saw a lot of people out in one of the community parks, and lots of kid's soccor is being played. I stopped yesterday to watch, and I think it's more entertaining to watch these pretty young players than the World Cup, as where the ball goes is much more unpredictable. One of the side-advantages cycling affords us is the ability to simply stop and enjoy spontatious happenings, a soccor game, kids playing in the street, or the boy who was being towed on his skateboard by his dog yesterday. Cars go too quickly to really see, observe, and of course in a car you cannot hear, or smell, what's happening around you either. But on a bicycle, it's all there for the takin' in.
