It's that time of year again - the closing of the cottage and, this year, the frying of the bird, accompanied by the turducken...there will be feasting! And maybe some wine...and scotch...and of course pumpkin stuff...
As I sit in my cabin, looking out at the cold and wet, I can't help but feel a little sad, as this time of year always means a closing of one season and an opening of another. I am very lucky to be a cyclist, as I am sure we can all attest, this is the best time of year to be riding!! I look forward to fall, but am sad to see the warmth of the summer slip away. Today we have already built 2 fires and have spent a good deal of time moving between the two just to keep warm....but I love it, and it is a good excuse to do things that bring on the cozy....
Yesterday on the way up North, I stopped at Coulson's Hill - never been, always wanted to , now have, ridden...Sweet fast singletrack and amazing leaf color made for a good pre-feast blast for Skye and I - bonus that we were the only ones in there - I think I'll put this on the list of trails to boot around on when in need of a quick fix on the way up 400 :) I love rest season riding and all the laziness it brings - so smooth and ez...and slooowwww...but it feels perfect....
Now if I can just get me arse motivated to hop in the boat and head over to the mainland for a cold n rainy run....well, I guess I'm not made of salt...here goes
Happy Thanksgiving everyone - hope you send off summer in style :)
