The Chainlink

I've wanted to start this thread so many times this year. . . there have been so many beautiful, glorious days this year and each time I think "this is probably the last really beautiful day" and then another comes along.  Take yesterday morning-- what a wonderful combination of warm moist air and all the smells of autumn.

Bouncing this thread to the top heretoforth will be considered a declaration that said bouncer considers the day upon which the bouncing occurs to be the most beautiful day of the year.

Would be nicer if my phone didn't load pics sideways too.

To the 4 little fixie fellas sizing me and my bike up, you are not sneaky and mine would be the wrong one to covet.

Another morning where I dearly wished I'd allowed myself time to stop and smell the roses.

Love when the sunlight takes on that more yellow-orange tint that a less acute refractory angle affords (I may just be making up words there...)

Last Thursday, after the North Branch Trail Meeting...

I went down Devon to get onto the side streets south after the library.  It was dark, I couldn't really see the street signs but it was so nice.  Cool, no breeze.  I just kept riding but soon discovered I was lost - in my own neighborhood!  Just kept riding, following my nose.  No cars on the side streets.  Quiet.  Just one of the best short-ride nights of the year.

These last couple of days have been high on the list of most beautiful days--early mornings when I am glad to be able to ride along the lake to go to work.  Mornings when I say to myself: "self, how did we get so lucky?"

A picture from yesterday's amazing morning (featuring the aforementioned yellow-orange tint).

Today was, without question, the most beautiful day of the year.

Yesterday was like, nice beyond comprehension. But today's no slouch, if you like it a little cooler.

Yesterday (9/7/14) was such a gorgeous day that I went out for a ride and didn't come back for 55 miles. If I'd had more water with me I'd have gone further. Nice thing about living on the outer reaches of Chi-town.

Another competitor today for the Most Beautiful Day of the Year.  Very, very hard to stop riding.
