Two days off and a time change meant I did not want to go riding at all today. I thought back on how the time change has ended my riding for the season in the past, and I suited up to go out for a ride. Wind chill was in the upper 30's, but other than the first two warm up miles I was just fine. I am getting very close to having to do my official 57 mile birthday ride. Might be quite cold for it, but it is crunch time.

I took a break at my quiet spot and ate a Cliff bar. Here is a pic of the bike in situ. I carry it out here though, too many briars for these tires. That seat has got to go.
