I stopped by Sevoian Cycles on my way home today and talked with Jesse for a bit. Teese (aka Tequila Sunrise) could have a transformation in the making. We talked about prices and ideas to get him ready for winter and it turns out he should be fine in his current state as long as I keep an eye on surface rust. But the more exciting news is that he will try to do any paint scheme I have in mind, which currently is a fading sunset. Instead of taking the direct route home - south on 47. I decided to stretch my legs a bit and head up and through Sunderland, Deerefield, and Whately then on back down through Hatfield. The scenery was quite nice and the squirrels and chipmunks weren't as brave. I think that is mainly because they were near cars instead of shoes and bike wheels. Hopefully, this longer ride makes up for my shorter ones earlier in the week. My legs sure think it does :D. My eyes loved the view of Mount Sugarloaf. I think it had every fall colour possible on display. The shadow from the peak added even more'. It was a fantabulous ride! Note: It just turns out my right shoe was too tight. Gotten loosen them straps!
