Fall in the Canyons

Last Saturday I road with the Velo club up Hobble Creek Canyon. Wow the colors are showing already. In just a couple of weeks it will be in full bloom of fall color. I need just a few more rides to get closer to my goal of miles this year and I would like to do as much of that outside. I am sitting at just over 16 hundred miles today. That sounds like a lot of miles when I put it that way rather than writing 1600. Saturday put me up 57 miles and each week I do about 60 miles just riding to work and back home. I would love to do another 100 mile ride, but will see. Maybe I can't sqeeze it in. With all these miles, my bike is feeling it. I need a new chain, seat, handle bars support and a shorter bike. I found out a month or so ago that my bike it too big for me. Wow If it were any shorter, I would be sitting on the ground it would seem. I just need a new bike, HA, Ha, anyone have about 12oo dollars they just want to give me. Anyway, I like the bike and will probably never get ride of it. Its been a good day
