A beautiful Fall day to enjoy the color, which is setting in in earnest now. Road out to Stockdale via K177 and Blue River Hills Rd. Opted out of the nasty hill climb out there, but did some ill-advised gravel grinding on skinny road tires. The access road on the South side of Stockdale is a bit over 2 miles long, about a mile more than I bargained for. Still, the hillsides over the lake are pretty, so it was worth the adventure. Came home on Stockdale Park Rd, though Frog Holler, and back down K177. While the idiot rumble strips near town have been patched on K177, the pointless endless miles of them to the North have not. There was a brisk West-to-Southwest cross wind for most of the ride, in comfortable 70F temps. Wore the Fall uniform of SmartWool jersey and bibs. Wanted to wear my new Sohoku Team jersey, but thought it too light. I could probably have gotten by with it.
