well mother nature flipped her switch over the weekend and it seems as if fall is beginning - I'd venture it was in the 50s today - I stuck to shorts and a jersey and was surprised at how wrapped up the other bikers I met were, although it will probably only be a matter of days before I'm in tights and layers

done a little upgrading to get ready for winter - my toe cage pedals finally gave up the ghost so I bought a set of SPDs and some shoes - then I was so worried about getting my nice new (and expensive) shoes dirty or wet so I sprung for a pair of neoprene booties to put over them in bad weather - I really like the new pedal system - it makes a big difference
