I didn't feel particularly gung ho today, so I did a favorite short 13 mile loop with several hills in it.
Started with a nice bowl of oatmeal topped with fruit at Ralph's Pretty Good Cafe, along with a big latte. That alone is worth the effort to get on my bike and into town!
It was in the 50's, overcast, and very windy. A light merino wool base layer and then a bright yellow LS jersey and a yellow windbreaker vest. Long tights plus my smartwool helmet liner (which got removed after 5 miles).
It was a very refreshing cool windy ride. My speed was slow today, but I loved all the golden and red autumn leaves whirling through the air all around me and skittering across the roads. I enjoy the crunch sound when I ride over those crispy leaves. The Canada geese were honking in the sky as they prepared to fly south.
