Wednesday when driving to Columbia, we passed this peach orchard and the gold colors were gorgeous, but I didn’t stop.
Four days later, the wind and blown the leaves off the trees!
Rule #1 of Photo A Day – always shoot the picture when you see it!
What an afternoon for a ride!
Last ride of the year in shorts? And the first ride on the CX pit bike set up for road. Heavy “city” tires and cast off parts, but it is a bad weather ride.
Bike ride leaves.
My parking spot for an afternoon ride.
Same tree as yesterday.
Another weekend of racing cyclocross in NC. Saturday is on a new venue in Lenior.
The course feature short but steep climbs, a stair run, sand, mud and some pain.
I decided to stay solo in the mountains, so after my race, and cheering some friends, I went waterfall hunting.
And driving dirt roads I could find.
Even some Forest Service roads.
My second hike/water fall was cut short by too many stream crossing and only one pair of shoes.
I camped on the Blue Ridge Parkway on the last night it (campground) was open for the season, between the temps in the 40s and rain, I had the whole campground to myself, never even saw a Ranger. Peaceful night reading and listening to the rain and wind.
Ready for the weekend. Leaves are changing and cyclocross starts!
A grey day.
It’s still Fall.
