Today was just as nice, if not a tad bit nicer than yesterday! Honestly I do not remember the last weekend where both Saturday and Sunday were both gorgeous! Such being said, Joe and I jumped at this opportunity and rode both yesterday and today. Yesterday we enjoyed a fun mountain bike ride and today a splendid road ride. This morning it was cold, sunny yes but very cold too, 31 degrees F when we woke up at 8:00 AM. So we waited until the sun had a chance to do it's thing and it sure didn't let us down. Around 11 AM it was in the mid 50s. Perfect! We drove to our favorite starting spot for a nice 20 mile ride. I think I over dressed a bit because I was sweating 10 minutes into the ride.

The day was absolutely picture perfect. We rode through the back roads of Enumclaw's farm country. I brought along my camea but Joe did not want to stop. He had a tempo going and I just pulled in behind him and it was like nirvana, a place or state of freedom from the world. And the trees, my goodness the trees! They were decked out in all of their gorgeous fall foliage. Mount Rainier was strutting it's presence too. It was out and white as a white snow cone. There was no traffic, no headwind, just a nice steady ride with beautiful scenery for a backdrop. I did not want it to end. How often (especially here in the pacific northwest in the fall/winter) do you get two back to back gorgeous days on a weekend?!

What a weekend! Glad I got to ride on both days!
