The suspense is KILLIN' me!!!

Oh man, I feel for you on your wait, especially since today was a perfect fall day. I believe we will still see nice weather but if you're going to be able to photograph that new bike with a fall color backdrop it better be pretty soon. Waiting sucks but once you have it, you'll have it for a long time.

Yeah, this past weekend I think was definitely our peak color. All this wind and rain is really clearing out the beautiful color fast! I got out on my road bike, today, but so many people are posting photos of trail rides on FB and it's killing me (you, too, I'll bet!).

Indeed it is. My sister drove us out to Island Lake State Park where I frequently ride and the colors were beautiful. The park had a lot of people cramming in rides and being outdoors on this beautiful warm fall day. I looked with longing at riders both on the road and trail. We did stop at a couple of places and we got out for a walk and found a couple picking mushrooms and a kayaker gliding down the river. Well if I can't ride at least the next best thing is to be in my haunts and strolling around. Great therapy! Wonderful sights, sounds and smells of fall. Recupperating can have it's own rewards, being on the bike is more involved and slower than riding in a car but being on foot is even slower can be even more introspective.

This is one of the things I love about running. And I can zone out in ways I can't on the bike. Plus it's a LOT warmer in the Winter!
