I happened across this image while organizing some pictures and it struck me how much I like riding in the fall. It is a street I ride by almost every day, and I must have been heading in early, as the sun is lower than it normally is for me on my rides to work. With all the leaves on the ground and the soft colors, it obviously made enough of an impression for me to stop and shoot it. Now it makes me feel good that it can stir up some of those same feelings that made me stop in the first place. I know that it isn't technically a great photo, but it does the trick for me.
I was out riding yesterday and we have been treated to some fabulous weather here in the twin cities. With temps in the 50's, it brings out the feeling of spring. I know it isn't going to last, but it sure is a nice break after what always feels like extremely long winters. We have one more nice day in store for us today, and it has that fall feeling to it with some fog this morning. Then it is back to reality with a few more weeks of winter riding before we can store our heavier layers of clothing, and not have to rely on memories of great rides, but create some new ones.
