Changing colors.
It took me several attempts to dress. The thermometer on the window reported 58 but Weather.com was reporting 41. Hmmm, strange. I ended up with knee warmers, a wool jersey, and skull cap after spending a few minutes on the back patio.
Long fingered gloves and toe covers too!
The wind was coming out of the west at 12 to 15mph so I headed into it on the way out. I rode the Old Lincoln Highway for a good while, out past Reedsburg, before turning north then south. I crossed the Funk bottoms before sneaking past Shreve.
Stopped by the grandparents gravesite
on the way into Reedsburg.
The leaves were changing color all around. There was still some green to be seen and not too many fallen leaves yet. The cool air made it seem later in the year than it is. I was glad for each piece of gear I was wearing.
Lots of raking.
This was the first road ride since they finished paving SR3. The final part of every ride from home is a short run on the state route. Fortunately vehicles have always been polite despite the minimal berm for a cyclist to ride on. It seems there is more space to stay right now. Or at least the freshly paved road is rideable further right than it was before. Hopefully this makes the conclusion to a road right that much more enjoyable.
It depends on where the white line lands.
