It just doesn't get any better than this. We don't have fall colors yet, those will peak in about a month, but the hint that change is coming is all around. We could see some sumac starting its change to blood red leaves. Farm fields were folding in the mature browns and gold to the formerly youthful green. Even the soy bean fields were showing off patches of yellow. All of this rolling in between a delightful mix of pine and deciduous trees, well manicured farmsteads, lakes and creeks.
Added a loop up into Scandia, onto a route we did a couple of weeks ago. It's just incredibly beautiful. I could count the number of clouds out on one hand, and they were just these little puffs of white.
As if all this beauty wasn't enough, the wind took the day off.
Robin rode with us to Pine Point Park and then turned for home. She's racing a du next week and needs to keep the miles and effort under control for that. Anthony, Steve and I kept on to Marine on St. Croix, got a stop in at the Bikery du Nord, and then rode north to Scandia, turned south for Stillwater and then home.
This will be a hard one to forget. 100/19.1
