Sliding towards Fall

Sunday just shortly after noon is a very nice and calm time for riding. The football season has begun and kick off moves a significant portion of the population to a position in front of the TV instead of behind the wheel.

So I guess we missed some excitement. The thing about football, though, is that there will be plenty more later.

I am getting a lot of miles for September to this point but we all know that the weather becomes less bicycle friendly as September goes along. We are already under 13 hours of daylight each day and a temperature below average now means a temperature not completely comfortable in the summer costume. Then there is the whole changing colors thing which advances a little bit each day at Lake Vadnais.

But it was plenty nice enough, the winds which were punitive yesterday were light and variable today. It felt pretty good.
