Sunday bike ride alone

Glorious October day, 70-some degrees and sunny, and I get the gift of a bike ride alone.  Pete got home from his race and insisted I go out and enjoy it.  Truth be told, I would have preferred a family bike ride.  I think I honestly enjoy them better than biking by myself.  But I know I need to take the opportunity to ride fast while I can, come winter I will be longing for it. When I am alone I am a lot more observant of my surroundings and not busy looking back at the status of the baby.  Here are the photos I stopped to take.
