Picture Perfect!
Oct 11'th was probably some of the best weather yet for biking... a nice crisp fall day, not too hot and not too cold! Sorry, not a lot of photos this time... I was enjoying the ride too much and forgot to take pictures!
Thanks to everyone that made it out... be sure to join us on the 25th for the season finale!
