It hasn't rained in weeks, and the grader left a 3-4" deep layer of silt in its path. SPP |

Peak foliage is this week, summer temps continued into today. Best Fall I can recall for riding.

My birthday (70th) ride in Western PA. We rode 70km (a little over 43 miles). Beautiful Western PA fall colors. We used to ride our age in miles, but we switched to kilometers a few years ago for obvious reasons.

I'm sorry. My photos of the ride were rejected. I don't know why. Anyway, it was a great ride through peak colors in Western PA

A very generous friend foot the bill for a cycling reunion get together in the Mediterranean Alps. Crossed off a bunch of Bucket List rides. (My personal favorite was the ride up to the Madone D’Utelle) If you like riding with a variety of scenery (sea, mountains, villages), you’d be hard pressed to find better riding anywhere. It was pure bliss.
Favorite village: Valbonne (where my friend lives) Least favorite town: Modern section of Cannes. Kind of like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Some people like all the glitz and glamor. Not my scene. In order (probably) 1) Rooftop view from Old Cannes 2-7) Ride from Menton along French/Italian Riviera to ancient walled city of Dolceacqua 8-12) Gourdon to Grasse loop. (Gourdon is the village with epic viewpoints. Grasse is the “perfumed village” of France.) 13-16) Ride to Madone D’Utelle. |
