While I was concentrating on how to get in the hours for riding as precious daylight disappears at the rate of three minutes a day, I forgot another hazard: the cold! I am really not very good at balancing the need to stay warm on the bike and not overheat. Which means that on mornings like today I end up FREEZING on parts of my ride. Like on the downhills and the faster straightaways. But it was a lovely fall ride anyhow and sunny/warm for a bit at the end. Spent most of the way singing along to my Spotify playlist, but also enjoyed Part 6 of the Dolly Parton's America podcast. Do not miss this series!
