I think we skipped Fall in Ohio.

Went straight to early Winter.

The leaves are changing but the temps are getting pretty chilly for bike ridin'.

Rode 117 miles today and only saw 3 other bikes on the road.

Temps in the mid 50s. Later in the week the high temp isn't suppose to get out of the 40s.

Last year we had 70s up until the 17th of November.

Ditto here in California. 3 Weeks ago, 100 degrees. ~2 weeks ago, 70s. Not too cold to ride but definitely time to change jackets and start wearing riding pants all the time.

Very nice pics! I wish I could get a view like that.

It's rainy and miserable in the Northeast corner. Cold and wet = bummer.

Those are the kinds of views I miss from living in the midwest, but as part of the trade-off...I get year-round riding in SoCal so it's all good.

GORGEOUS pics JM. Thanks for sharing those! [thumbsup]

Beautiful pictures -- Thanks!

Here's the song that's often in my head when I've got somewhere else to be, but my front wheel has other ideas...

I do believe those pictures remind me of a trip I took last week.

wish I had hose kind of roads here; I'd always take the long way home. Where is that exactly?

This is the Blue Ridge Parkway, between Balsam Gap in NC and Soco Gap in NC.
