Have been off the bike for 2 weeks. My sister visited from PDX and then I was tuckered out. Rode 47 miles north. 80 degrees when I left, 65 when I returned. A weird upper level disturbance flipped the wind off the lake. Shadowed, but did not overtake Jerry Ortega.
Lake was roiled up and looked "wintery" - the seasons are changing for sure.
The climb out up the ravine from the shore is pretty steep. A friendly chap shouted encouragement as I was crawling up.
Going to have to snip after-work rides to 40 miles or less at this point. Mostly dark for the last 5 miles. Passed many festive sukkah lit up for the evening.
