Finally, Autumn has arrived.  This is riding weather.  Crisp, sunny days with lows in the upper 40's to low 50 and highs in the 60's.  Perfecto. 

 

If only I had the ambition to get out and train and enjoy the weather.  This weekend's cross race is probably going to be ugly.  Two laps into the race the will be gasping for air and the legs will be locking up with another 40 minutes yet to race.  That should be some motivation to train.

 

While I'm not riding much, I am very excited.  This Saturday I plan to make a trial run of some new equipment on the famed Columbia IL ride.  What does this mean for anyone strange enough to be reading this nonsense.  Not much, actually. 

 

Yesterday, I also began work on a feature article that WILL be posted here.  A major portion of the groundwork has been layed and only some minor tweaking and finishing touches need to be applied.  The devil is always in the details, however, so it may take a little while to put everything together.
