I expected the leaves to be flying, and they were. I didn't expect whole branches to be falling off of the trees though. I was able to dodge all but one of them, and that one dropped right in front of my wheel. Luckily it was of a size that I could ride over it. I hate to even think about what would happen if one of them had landed on my helmeted head! After the one that hit right in front of me, I cut my ride short (bummer, only 25 miles today...) and headed for home by the most direct route!
Anyone else out there today?
