Riding into Halloween

Halloween is almost here. The full moon is waning and it was making its way down the western sky yesterday as I was preparing to head out on a ride. The moon sat there in the sky, almost laughing at me. 

The forecasters got the weather wrong for yesterday, thankfully. There were predictions of intermittent rain all day, but that did not materialize and I was able to get a 17-mile ride accomplished. I am still developing a new base ride with the closure of one of the bridges that I normally traverse.

The halloween decorations abound and I snapped an image of some interesting decorations as I zoomed past on my bike. People are so very creative.

There was some standing water in places that I had to traverse, but the rains definitely had stopped and the land was beginning to dry. 

I am looking forward to the upcoming transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Lawn decorations express the seasons in so many different ways and they make my rides more interesting.
