Rain, ride, rain, wind

That's my recent bicycle log entries, rain, ride, rain, wind. That makes for only one ride in the last four days, this is what happened at the end of August turning a promising mileage total month into the worst August ever. But we rode today, it was 75 when we passed the time and temperature by the A&W, pretty much you don't get days much nicer than today.

The person who occasionally rides with me (TPWORWM) achieved a nice mileage milestone on today's ride. Here is is:This takes her comfortably past that whole 2 miles ridden for every dollar spent on the bicycle threshhold. She noticed that she was 10 miles away while we were at Vadnais and watched the total odometer carefully from that point on until we were home. She clicked past this number while in front of the neighbor's driveway.

So here's where she was when she achieved the above milestone:
This gives us all an opportunity to note the progress of the color change on the neighbor's maple tree.

And here's where she was when she noticed that the milestone was imminent:It is Lake Vadnais in the early fall with some yellows or at least a dimming of the greens starting to be present in the hardwoods on the north end of the lake.

It was a spectacular day for a ride and that helped make for a very nice ride.
