Relevant because today was very unlike July, the first time this season that the day featured a preview of what is to come. Not enough sun and not enough heat, a really very October like day.
The W word thing is coming.
It was windy but I had not ridden in a couple of days and I felt strong. I got farther north than I have been recently, all the way to the top of the hill in Shoreview.
Having gotten that far north I swung past this extremely underappreciated and under photographed body of water on the return trip.
I felt strong and I thought I was going to ride a couple of extra miles today, intending for a new longest ride of the year. I planned as I neared home to turn off the direct path and ride a southerly two mile loop along familiar and often traveled streets. When I came to the intersection where I needed to turn left to initiate this detour I was deterred by a car approaching from behind me. I don't like riding across in front of cars. I always prefer going behind cars, it being imperatively obvious that fewer bicyclists are killed by cars going backwards than are killed by cars going forward.
Anyway, I missed my turn and before I knew it I was home.
Roses are still blue, at least they were a couple of days ago when I took this photo.

Lake Emily! That is a beautiful photo of a lake I have not seen for a while but always enjoy stopping to admire. It was sweet of them to name it after Wireless.
It’s an opening line that gets used once a year, but still entertains.
I do like the blue rose.
October sounds good to me. Good to hear that you are feeling strong.
