Cool Autumn Day

Finally the cool of Autumn is here and I can get out and ride...ride...ride. I spent the morning meandering around the hills of home with Betzi. With a total gain of 1,840 feet and averaging a whooping 7.2 mph I spent three hours on the rode towing 90 lbs of dog and trailer...loved it! The morning sun started to soak up the fog just as I was putting the longest and steepest stretches of climbing behind me. 

Last week I rode the 700 three times. When the forecast is for heat followed by more heat I take the fast 700 out so I get some miles in before the sun kicks into high gear.

The shrouded hills of home.

The wide open and foggy road that leads me into the hills.

Betzi gets to walk this one.

Snack time at the amphitheatre in the park in the cool sun.
