Wilmot Ride in Perfect Light

32 degrees, frosted grass, and full-on sunshine... Ryan and I rolled out of Apple Creek headed towards Wilmot.  Sometimes it just feels good to be bundled up, breathing cold air, and pedaling through the country side.  That was the case this morning.

 We saw some cool looking clouds on the ride.

We rode a gravel road around the back side of the Wilderness Center.  Then we road past the building at the Wilderness Center and into Wilmot.  The sun had been in our face our on our left so far.  Coming out of Wilmot it would be at our back or right side the rest of the way.

The air was crisp and the colors of fall were on display beneath a vivid, blue sky.  The low light of the morning was perfect for pictures.

 Ryan had the camera out too.

Coming out of Wilmot, and heading west, we were on a state route with a big buggy lane.  I looked ahead and saw a couple Amish riders.  I had to get a picture of Ryan latching on to the Amish peloton.  While I nearly bit it riding through a pot hole one handed, I got the picture.

We only wheel sucked a little bit

after catching on.

We huffed and puffed on a couple short hills while heading north on Apple Creek Road and soon were back to Ryan's house.  It was a great morning on the bike.
