17.1 miles. First ride in awhile, a couple of weeks, maybe? I could look back of course, but....

Right after turning on to Rucker (on the sidewalk) I swerved to the side to avoid a pedestrian and subsequently knocked myself off the bike. Not hard, but I'm glad I was wearing gloves. That's a life lesson there: Just because there are leaves doesn't mean there is solid ground under them.
First time I fell though since teenage years....not a good feeling.

17.9 miles. First really chilly day. Rode with leg warmers and gloves and skul cap under the helmet. In the week since I rode the GW it has totally changed as the leaves have almost all come down.
The chilly (low 50's) weather was tough at first. My lungs started to burn and I was really not into the wind, but after a couple of miles I got used to it and it was like any other day.
Plus, I learned that *bux can make de-caf cappacinos, something I never thought about before. That opens some doors, right there.
This is the sign that marks the joing of the the
Alpharetta Greenway and Roswell's Big Creek
Park.

16.3 miles. Not going to be able to ride again til next week, due to me having to fly down to Fla. I'm thinking about buying a $50 bike...something that could get trashed or is already trashed to keep down there since I don't drive any more with the bike.
I actually had the idea of biking down there some time. It's almost 500 miles exactly by Interstate, so I figure a week to get down there...a week to stay and a week back. I would have to do other trips before I try this one, but it's nice to think about.

22.3 miles....at a guess...I stopped at Best Buy for some coax and forgot to turn on the trip thing until Rite-Aid. Stopped at dilapidated house to snap some Olifaunt/Rigel Kent pics.

17.9 miles on Oct. 31, actually. The days before were nice, but I was too busy to ride. Got to press on before it gets really cold, and then figure out how much layering my bike will handle.
