Roll in - Roll out, Repeat

Been status quo the last few days. I can tell fall is coming and it wont be long before i'm on the cross bike for the commute.

As much as we all LOVE summer as a cyclist, fall has its own feel.
It feels like off season, it feels like cross season, it feels like time for Hilly, and all that jazz.
I like having to pull on the arm warmers in the AM only to have a super comfy PM ride home.
The sun is much lower in the sky, and if i had to guess, id say that by mid September, i will need the light for the first 20 minutes and last 20 minutes of the ride in and out.

I usually switch to the cross bike around this time, again it FEELS like fall, i run pretty beefy commuter tires in anticipation of spending more time in the gutter as the sun gets lower and more in the drivers eyes. I do enjoy the feel of fall when its checkout time at work, and i can roll home with the sun having just set, the last glimmer of light and the Nite Riders in full glow. Something kinda fun about rolling the rig in the dark.

Hope all of you are enjoying the fleeting days of summer, getting your MTB ready for Chequamegon, and blowing the caked on dirt off the cros rig for some fall fun!
