Is it just me or are bright colors and clear sky higher contrast than any other time of the year? There is more motion this time of year with colors in the trees and leaves on the road. The leaves give close reference to motion compared to uniform, gray asphait so I get an illusion of speed that makes me feel good as if I'm in better shape than I really am. Maybe I'm just loading up on good vibe for the hibernation from pothole and slush. Whatever it is, I rode the same colorful 37 mile loop two days in a row.
Several times I thought I should stop and take a picture or try to video sailing along a winding road but that great feeling and illusion of speed felt too good to stop. It would be cool if I could record the sound of on coming, colorful fellow cyclists and capture the passing sound of high pressure tires on smooth asphalt.
Fun, fast and deposited in my memory bank for winter.
