Arrgh

We're back into that time of year when everything starts to get depressing. A lot of people I know look forward to Autumn, I am not one of them, for me Autumn signals the beginning of a long dismal period of discomfort. It is the beginning of all things green and growing going away. And it has started, you go out in  the morning or the evening and you can see your breath, a sure sign of the impending dismalness. Soon the leaves will change colors, the cutter cells will separate dropping the leaves to the ground, the temperatures will continue to drop, the skies will turn gray and the world outside will match it.Very shortly we'll be left with browns and grays. 

Riding will change also, it already has, you now have a jacket in the morning and evenings, and too soon it will also mean chaps and gloves. Before long you will be riding with layers and unable to move freely on your machine. 

People look forward to this season for the color change, they ride out heading for the north to see the fall spectacular, when all the trees put on displays of vibrant colors, but like a light bulb which get brightest just before it goes out, so it is with nature. 

So get ready to ride, there are a number of trips planed for the Club where you will be riding to see the beauty of the season.

I think I'll join the rides, I'll just think of the fall colors as the flowers for Summers funeral.
