Fall's comin'

Yellow leaves are falling on the trails. Autumn has begun. It’s time to write off the Summer That Never Was.

It was cold, rainy and cloudy. Bears created havoc. People got grumpy.

On top of that, I never seemed to get into good shape. Coming off a winter of little commuting, I never really found my groove. There were some good rides here and there, but only a few “great” rides, thanks to good trails and fun riding partners. My legs don't deserve much credit.

There’s nothing left to do but hope for a few nice fall rides, prepare the snow bikes for winter, and pray to the bike gods for more sun in ’09.
