Falling into a rut
Well……..
Morning sky from the fitness center...just moments after a purely spectacular sunrise.
This week feels like a rut. Not in a bad sort of way, but just in a rutty sort of way. And for the first three days, it seems like I’m stuck in it as far as biking goes. Until today, the sun has been out and it’s been warm, but that sunny warmth came with a strong wind from the southeast.
The morning commutes this week have been characterized by darkness, a nice tail wind that makes a hard ride pretty effortless, and more bike commuter sightings than usual. The evening rides, on the other hand have seen more traffic than seems normal, pleasant fall temperatures, quad-busting headwinds and drivers that don’t seem to have a clue. The one pleasant aspect of those evening commutes is that the fall color seems to be nearly at it’s peak in the older part of town and the low-in-the-sky evening sun Monday and Tuesday just makes those colors pop!

We’re officially on vacation now until after the wedding. On Sunday, Pam and I are going to skip off to Rocheport for a couple of days to doodle around on the Katy Trail, so have a great weekend!
God bless….

Hi,
I found your blog while cruising around the internet this morning. I started from “bikingla” and ended up here. I enjoyed your writings! I live in the Southern Appalachians in the Great Smoky Mountains in Western North Carolina. Our colors are beginning to look as nice as yours. My office is on a Walnut St. so that caught my eye right away.
I would like to exchange links with you on your blogroll. Please check out my site (http://gr8smokieszeke.blogspot.com) and if you find the site worthy of being listed, I would appreciate your listing me as I noted. I will happily list yours on mine. I like the idea of having links to sites around the country so that readers can get the full measure of cycling around America.
Thank you for the consideration!

Enjoy the Katy Trail. I haven’t been there in years, but have fond memories.
