UK - south east and the leaves are in free fall. The forest areas (non conifer ones) look beautiful and I love scuffing along the ground sending showers of leaves into the air, and that wonderful smell of damp earth. I noticed some local trails cleared out over the past two months and that's good for me. I have a handful of great rides planned, and I don't want to let oncoming winter wreck my days out.

Only thing I don't like about the leaves is they act like a lubricating barrier between tire and ground - very slippery. Even if I don't ride, autumn/winter is great for walking. A nice time of year.

But right now it's peeing with rain, and the sky is grey, and everything looks miserable and wet.
