BEAUTIFUL WEATHER

Question: So what should one do now?

Answer: It's wonderful here. Go out and ride. Take it easy. Enjoy the beginning of this long and delightful season. Savor the day. Let the Sun smile gently upon you. Watch the skys.

The Canada Geese are starting to train for their migrations. You might see a squadron forming up and doing some flight work at middle altitudes. The brown threshers have already left for their winter homes. Squirrels are getting super busy eating everything they can find. The deer are starting to get a bit frisky in this pre-rut season. Turkey and fox are often visible in cool early morning hours, just at dawn. If your of a mind to ride with lights, you just might see a coyote or two in the late evening. The trees are just beginning to turn. It's a good time to get on a bike and be out in it.

Don't overdo it. Ride gently. Savor the experience. A week from Saturday is the big ride.

Go back to the last couple of posts and re-read them. Put yourself in each part of this. Feel what it will be like along the way. See it.

Are you starting to get a bit twitchy with anticipation? I am.

Sunday afteroon, clean and do a thorough pre-event check of your bike and gear.

Home stretch starts now.

Have a great weekend all.
