It's been a Thanksgiving weekend of gorgeous rides sandwiched in between parent care activities. The mountain provides respite and distance from those responsibilities. Sometimes not enough.

It was briskly autumn today the last day before standard time. Cool as if the breeze had thoughts of snow on of the mountain. Plenty of traffic motoring today. Warming up the muscles and joints took longer this morning. Thought I recognized Scott P. Racing past the shed. Got to chat with Chuck who climbed 14,000 feet this week.

Last evening ride before the time change. Having used the elliptical machine on Monday, my legs were screaming what's this bicycle motion going on. It was a pretty ride and my time was good just under my "baseline" time.
