This weekend was great for riding. Both Saturday and Sunday I hit Earl's trails (which are flowey fast trails) on my single speed. Saturday I went out with two Jeffs, and Sean, and it was my first ride on my single speed in those trails in a long while, maybe since last fall. Below is a really weird picture of Sean, one of the Jeffs (Elie), and myself, yeah really weird.
Sunday it was Sean and Jeff (Cronin), and we did some good exploring. We sort of just went which ever way we wanted, and the trail network is so all over the place that it works well. Sunday was particularly good, maybe it was because I took off the suspension fork on my single speed and replaced it with the rigid "tough guy" fork, or because the weather was just perfect, or perhaps a lot of both.
Then on the way home from that ride I found there huge leaves on the trail across the street from my house. Attached is a picture below:
The leaves around the big leaves are normal sized [for comparison :) ], and all of these big leaves fell in about three days time, it was a really cool to see them all over the place.
This was one of the best weekends of riding in a long time, it was great to just go and ride the trails with some good friends with nice weather. I really like riding in the fall, it is most defiantly my favorite time of the year to ride. Maybe its the crisp fall air, or the end of the serious racing season, or maybe its all of the beautiful colors, one way or another, it is fun.
This upcoming weekend I will be racing in my first cyclocross race, should be an interesting experience. But for now, its time to sign out.

Nice to relax on the bike a mike?
Woods sure look great out there.
We are all set for the Iceman, which by the current weather forcast should be called bathingsuit slide as the weather is going to be mid 50's and sunny.
Not complaining, I'm happy about it.
Finished all the training rides yesterday (weather called for rain today so i bumped up todays ride) and really feel good about finishing in the top 100 of my class.
Thanks for the pain Mike you were a big help.
Talk to you soon.
Love Dad
You know what they say about big leaves...
Loved the photo of you on the bench - ahh the peaceful feeling of solitude!
