I was able to sneak out to ride at Elm Creek on a cool morning. It was actually great weather. I got a flat shortly before finishing the first section.  I had a new tube, but my CO2 was empty.  So I walked out to the parking lot.  There was a pump at the trailhead, but it didn’t work.  Fortunately there was someone in the lot with a pump so I was able to pump it up and hit the trails. They were in perfect shape and had recently been cleared of leaves.  It was 37 when I started and had warmed up to 47 when I finished. Everything but my toes were warm!

Enjoyed the trails so much. Wish they weren’t so far away from home. 11 miles.

45 degrees! A great morning to ride. Long sleeves with a vest and full fingered gloves. It was just getting light out too. Through the hour ride I only saw one other rider on the trails. On the way back home I saw a bunch in the parking lot.

I opted to ride the MORC trails and did all but Brownie. It felt great and the fall temps and colors are coming!
