Autumn is here

Did someone switch on Autumn this week ?
Ive gone from riding in beautiful sunsets to cold rainy dark evenings but on the plus side my runs in morning up the German Cutting are being cushioned by a blanket of multicoloured leaves.
The change has just been so noticeable, the silver birch started first, only a week ago, and already the oaks are turning a golden orange.  I am just coming to the end of 3 weeks pre-training after a month off and am starting my winter training program.  There will be lots of news soon, I am currently building a singlespeed MTB, have a new light on order and have finally decided on a new race bike for next year which should be arriving later in the month.
I have also decided to continue engaging Adrian Timmis of Cadence Sport as  cycling coach and am in the process of setting next years goals and planning the races I will be attending.
Busy weekend coming up with the Maize Maze event which Cath has organised and I am timing, plus a local orienteering event on Sunday.
