Crunchy

October 12, 2010 saw us leave a little before the 5:30 pm start time. We are trying to make use of all the daylight we can find. 22 miles at 13.6 mph.

Our wheels made crunching sounds as we rolled over the dry leaves on the trail. One could almost imagine locomotive sounds as we passed miles of rail-trail. The crunching sounded like steam, whistling wind, or singing steel as our wheels crushed through the leaves.

It will only be a few weeks until the sun is low enough we can't get an hour of riding in after 5:30. I'm already looking forward to next year!

Not much happening this time of year. The days are shorter and cooler. "Let's ride where we can stay in the sun," was the quote of the day. We had a good ride with 28 miles covered at an average speed of 13.0 mph.

The new parts of the Cardinal Trail are exciting. The trail lures us farther and farther. Hope to ride to Muncie soon.
