Work has been ominously slow lately, so I decided to take a vacation day, and hit up Skyline Drive again in Shenandoah NP. I figured this would be one of the last safe weekends before leaf peeping season begins in earnest. The leaves were just starting to turn, but there were a lot of them on the road. The surface was beautiful. They finished repaving the section I rode on since the last time I rode it. It was cooler than I expected. I kept my arm warmers on for most of the ride. For a little spice I rode off the park down into Stanardsville. That climb back up was harder than I expected. I can tell I haven't been doing much real climbing lately.
