Here are the entries in my bicycle log for the days beginning September 2:
2: intermittent rain
3: cold, 59
4: cold and windy
5: went to the Fair
6: windy and cold
7: windy and wet
So there was ONE day when I could have ridden but I didn't. I was beginning to lose the rhythm of being a bicyclist but if your goal is 4,000 miles you are still fairly likely on September 8 to realize upon slight reflection that there are still nearly 900 miles to go and maybe I better get back after it.
And sure enough, I had not forgotten how.
We had a nice ride out to Lake Vadnais. The wildlife out there agree that it is now fall as most of the cormorants and nearly all of the white birds were not present today. The waterfowl that were present seemed pretty tame, however, or at least not the slightest spooked by the proximity of GRider.
It felt good to be out there, we rode at what was for us a fairly rapid clip.Later on in the day TCWUTH had obtained tickets from one of her sources and took us out to the ball game. This photo was taken about national anthem time.
There's a Gene Autry song that applies here.EDIT: based on the first comment I decided to add this, as they say in Galaxy Quest, "historical document":

Sheesh. Gene Autry? Who even know who he is/was? (Back in the saddle, again).
Love the video. Ahhh, Jimson weed.
Just a reminder that 59 degrees will soon be plenty warm enough to ride.
