Aggie, I've taken a break from riding lately. I just don't feel like it. I've been traveling some for work and my schedule's been all wacky. And now it's gotten cold, which gives me one more reason to hesitate.

I know that riding in the fall when the weather is brisk and the light is perfect is wonderful, but I'm having such a hard time getting my butt out the door! I have one more travel day tomorrow--long, long day--but after that I'm travel free for a few weeks. I'm going to do my best to get out for a fall ride at least twice during the week (I do ride on weekends because I ride with my honey, but we only see each other on weekends).

I try not to beat myself up about it, but it's a pattern that I find all-too-familiar.
