If I were a betting man I would have lost this one. I would have thought my days of riding with bare legs this season were over. Yet there I was today with bare legs battling the west wind. I was able to get 25 miles in and for once seemed to hit the best part of the day.
Sun, as I have said a hundred times here, makes all the difference in the world to me. Mid-morning as I did some errands it was cloudy and windy and not all that warm outside.
But by the time I got home the sun was out and the temp was up to just over 60. I changed in a hurry as soon as I got home and hit the road heading south to avoid most of the gusting wind.
Clouds have returned as I type this up, but it is still warm enough to be sitting out on the screen porch. Nice!
Despite the fact that I did an extended lap in Whitnall, I have yet to see any deer this week. Usually that's a given in there this time of year.
And I got my new sunglasses back today, the ones I use for riding. They took the polarization out of them. It was cutting too much vision for me on the bike and making the reading of my computer readout difficult at times. Today things looked much better.
Another sign that the first snow flakes won't be far off...
