Mission accomplished. Mini goal met. Today I rode for the fifth straight day, knowing in my heart that I was able to take full advantage of the freakishly-nice autumn weather.
It was warmer and more windy today than the others, but so what on the wind! That sky. Those colors.
Well I figured I better take a picture of a tree today with that brilliant blue sky background. It may never look that nice again until next June! November rides usually have some of the ugliest sky conditions of all. Not today though...what a drop-dead beautiful day.
I climbed up my old friend "Barn Hill" while doing a lap in Whitnall Park today. No time for more because I had to pack up for the weekend.
But I felt good today out there, my legs much more fresh than Thursday. I also feel good about the fact that I was able to get on the bike for the five days in a row I was going for.
Next up, perhaps a nice slow ride with Sandy out in the country on Sunday. Then it will be time to bring the backup bike, the Klein, home from the lake house and into my basement where it will wait to be called into action in spring when the roads are still messy. Before you know it it will be time to inflate the tires on the old Trek on the trainer for indoor workouts after the calendar clicks over to 2011. But that can wait. I've got plenty of time to still enjoy riding outside in 2010.
