Wispy clouds and the lone cow.
Fall is one of the best times of year to train - and not just because of the treats that pop up in the convenience stores (caramel apples are hard to eat while riding unfortunately...)
Other than a middle segment where I bonked - BAD - I honestly did not want the ride to end. Those rides, where the road seems to stretch out before me indefinitely and things seem fluid on the bike - they are one of the many reasons I love this sport, and my job.
