I know it's fall when I have to break out the long sleeve jerseys and tights. Although fall can be scenic with the leaves turning it means cold weather is coming. I have been very busy the past couple of weeks not only at work where I have been putting in some over time but also in my personal life. Last Saturday we had a estate sale to start cleaning out my mother-in-laws house and I have been providing some technical advice to my community on some upgrades they want to make. I really haven't had much free time.
I did get out last Sunday with the posse on a ride to Farmingdale which felt good after a busy week. This Saturday I decided to go with my other club. They don't have many people that ride when it gets colder so I don't usually ride with them in the late fall. I was planning on signing up for the B ride but when I checked nobody had signed up but I saw a few people I know who usually do the B ride signed up for the C+ ride.
It was barely 50 degrees when we started the ride and we went out at a relaxed pace. The moderate wind from the west was annoying but the pace was easy so it didn't really bother me. It felt like a recovery ride which is what I wanted after another busy week. The wind got stronger after the break but it was now at our back so getting back to our starting point was a quick run.
Although life has been busy and the weather is getting colder I will always find a way to try to get out for a few miles to relieve the normal stress of life.
