Another number in the 70s

September returned with a vengeance today. The temperature outside as I compose this is listed by most of the internet sources as 73. We went for a ride.

We were dressed a bit for yesterday and a bit for the predicted high of 67 so we ended up slightly overheated on the outward leg. The Babe had to remove a layer and I had to unzip. But it was only a tiny bit overdressed, I didn't sweat. I am unable to speak for BB.

This is one of the scenic overlooks along River Road, this one just up from Ford Parkway, about 11 miles from home.This view is looking upstream, Minneapolis on the left, the Marshall Avenue bridge in the background.

There were lots and lots of other bicyclists out today. In fact, there was another couple occupying the park bench at this overlook when we stopped for the photo opportunity. It was a beautiful day and a reminder of how nice it is to be out riding our bikes.

Fall is a great time to bike, when the weather cooperates. From the photo, it looks like a beautiful day. 73 is pretty unusual for this late in October. Two years ago yesterday we had enough snow to shovel, according to out TV weather gang. Still ungodly windy here.

Nice photo of the "last" good Saturday of the season. Let's hope for one more "last."

I was by this scenic overlook yesterday, too, but maybe later in the day. TT
