Its just the start of fall and I'm already longing for warmer days. In part because you don't have to dress so warm, but mostly because falls means my riding time starts to decrease and along with it the bike high that goes with it.

My biggest quandary (I like that word) was how to capture the essence of day 3 and 4.
