welcoming dusk

first night gravel ride of fall, and there's to be many more... especially if this weather keeps up.

streets alive

the first streets alive! event was today. i saw all sorts of people out along the route. there were whole families walking, joggers, skateboarders, and of course lots of peeps on bikes. everyone was in such a great mood and we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather either. i certainly hope it will be come an annual event.

relaxing wednesday for me...

fignon's autobiography arrived in my mailbox today. i've been wanting to read it since it came out in 2009, but it was either sold out or way too pricey at the time. today was gorgeous out, like it's been lately. i should've got in a real ride but instead just rode down to the mill, got a dirty chai, kicked back on the dock and started in on "we were young and carefree".
