My (mostly) annual pilgrimage to Alma to take in the Fall color along the Mill Creek Valley. Did the Old K-10 "Skyline Mill Creek Scenic Tour" from Alma to Alta Vista and back, with a stop at the old Volland schoolhouse. The outbound leg was uphill and into the wind, and rather taxing. I stopped at Volland for a breather as much as to play tourist. The return leg was fun, as I went fast in an effort to improve my standing on the Strava segments, one of which I used to hold the KOM of. I ended with a slow tour of Alma, to cool down and pad out the mileage to the full 40 miles. It was a lovely Fall day, with temps around 70 °F, though the West wind was fickle, being mostly light but sometimes gusting up to around 17 mph. I felt the effects in both directions. The colors this year are muted, but the valley and the high prairie nearer Alta Vista always provide a pretty patchwork. Wore the Starfleet jersey with PI shorts, which were fine on this nice, sunny day.
