Even though it's gloomy wet and cold I had a great ride in. I think it's the cool, crisp clean air (sorry about that, cyclezealot) and the leaves blowing around that make it fun. Of course if you go north of here (northern Minnesota) they got up to 7 inches of snow so I feel greatful for what I have. I wasn't looking forward to daylight savings time but I actually am coming out better on the "lighting" side of it.
