Wildhawk: Not Virginia! It's Winthrop, Washington. Gorgeous place, too!Jesvetmed: The pics from Virginia were gorgeous - sure makes me homesick (I am originally from Lynchburg, Va. and fall is indeed my favorite time of year!)
Great rides by all this weekend! Salsa.. that picture looked like the morning of Danskin for a second!

OOOPs my bad - got the places mixed up. Oh well, it still reminds me of home. That is what happens when I start typing on the forum before I am fully awake - LOL.

Those Winthrop pictures are GORGEOUS. Wow. And the ride sounds really nice."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

ditto to everyone who said that you ladies are super impressive. It sounds like everyone had a nice weekend!
salsabike, the picture you posted of those storm clouds reminds of a ride I did here in chicago a few months ago. I knew it was supposed to rain, but when I checked the forecast in the morning, weather.com promised that rain wasn't coming until 9am, so I headed off at around 6. My doorman warned me not to ride, saying that he was just outside and that I storm was brewing. I confidently told him that it wouldn't rain until 9 (what exactly made me so certain that the forecast was right?). So I headed south along lake Michigan and while it was windy, the sky ahead of me was clear. After 15miles I turned around for the return trip and, um, the sky over Chicago was completely black!!! Got caught in a crazy thunderstorm, was soaking wet and completely wind blown, and later that day funnel clouds were spotted and tornado alert sirens were going off all over chicago - mental note, listen to my doorman when he tells me not to go riding!
This weekend I did a very nice 50mi ride in the forest preserve district (north branch trail). I was expecting more fall colors, but was not disappointed to see that we have a little more "summer" left.
