Nice pre-work ride this morning (can I pretend it's a commute, since I left home and started work after the ride?), if a bit chilly around 60F. The thing I noticed this morning is that autumn is going to come. It's not here yet (and won't be for another month or so), but some of the trees overhanging the roads have started their pre-leaf-turning sap spitting. I guess that's a good name for it, I'd be rolling along and suddenly under this or that tree there'd be a sticky spot, sounding like I was rolling through wet paint or chewing gum.
