I was right! I regretted missing out on the fall leaves yesterday. But I rode today, and if the meeting after work gets out on time (or if I skip it, a likely alternative), I will get to wander home on the MUP and see the leaves.
This morning's ride was a little warmer than usual, and absolutely gorgeous. There were little translucent bands of clouds painted across the sky, with stars peeking out from behind.
