Well, just south of Canada here. This morning's commute was wicked... ironically, due to the maple leaves on the MUP. So many of them that I lost the trail for a bit. My headlight illuminated a reflective mile marker on a 4x4 post that I was quickly approaching for a possible head on collision. I felt my tires/wheels sinking into the soaked ground and soft grass off of the side of the trail. Somehow, I was able to correct my steering enough to miss the post for the most part, my rear pannier caught a piece of the 4x4 post but I was able to stay upright.

I don't know when they will clean the leaves off the trail again. They did it just last week one morning, by the afternoon the trail was covered. I don't expect that they will do it again until the end of November... the leaves will just keep falling until then. It's been a wet October. Nearly triple the rainfall that we get in a normal October. I imagine we'll hit 12 inches for the month by the end of the day. At least we're not in Canada.
