Fall Into Winter

I took this picture at Detroit Lake, not far from the little town on the east side. I wish I could say that I was on a bike ride there, but that would be lying and bloggers never lie. I was just on a walk.

Oregon is so beautiful in late fall, when the weather and landscape seem to be in cahoots together, creating amazing combinations and textures. Even though it was a rainy, sloppy day when I took this picture, I felt like hopping onto the saddle and following a road into those hills and just enjoy the serenity.

I need to get out and ride more than I have been lately. Pedaling indoors is okay for a workout, but it's not the same as riding.

With the right kind of clothing, I've learned that riding in cold and wet conditions is really great.

Especially if there's soup afterwards.
