Default You know it's fall in the midwest when...

Something new for me, I came up to a rural intersection filled with spilled corn. Slick!! Nice riding weather here right now though...

When fallen wet leaves on neighborhood streets remind ya to be a little more careful in turns and stopping.

I've been dealing with some pretty intense fog here lately. Scary when you can't see what's coming up..... and cold too.

September was the driest Sept. on record for our area - we are making up for it now - today is day 9 of an almost constant rain!! BUT - the sun will come out tomorrow - YEA - and it looks like it will stay out all of next week. I am itching for a nice long ride.

I rode through some intense fog during the evenings/early mornings as well. Today has been really nice though. The news that this winter may be warmer than last, especially for the midwest, is a positive one for me. I'm hoping that I can ride year round.
