Nice commute in at 7:30 or so. I took the scenic route home to add some miles, and because it was an absolutely beautiful day.

The sumac are fire red and the poplars gave one of the streets on the way home a golden glow. Good thing I wasn't in any hurry, because I slowed down and just enjoyed being out and about on such a nice day.

Great ride, great day to be alive.

Dh and I did a really lovely country ride of about 20 miles this afternoon- just took off from our work and went BIKING!!

I was alternatingly hot and cold and hot- was able to adapt by adding and removing thin layers, but had to do that several times. Climbed hills in the sun- HOT....then 35mph downhill in the shade- COLD! Then another long hill- HOT!
Good thing DH had his handydandy front basket on as a wardrobe carrier. Ah, early Fall. We stopped for ice cream as we got back to town (COLD! put on the vest AGAIN...).

Got to use my new bike computer for the first time today. It was FUN to know how fast we were going and the mileage, etc. Then about 2/3 through the ride I fiddled with it and pressed the wrong button combo and cleared the trip info back to zero again. DOH!!! Won't do THAT again.

It was great to be back on our bikes after DAYS of persistent rain and no biking.
A beautiful day.
