(10/21) A glorious autumn day - cool, clear and light wind - brought riders out for a moderate 22 mile ride with back roads, gorgeous views and light traffic.

Another double header weekend (10/7) ... started cool and cloudy, 83% RH, with 30% chance of showers. We decided to give a modest (22 mile) ride a try. Note some non-believers in rain gear. About 2/3 of the way into the ride, humidity hit 100%, and our location had more than 30% chance of moderate drizzle.

Having gotten our miles in yesterday, we beat a hasty retreat. Temperature dropped more than 10 degrees during the ride.
