The most beautiful day of the year

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.

Today is a fine example of a perfect Chicago day.

Definitely perfect. And ... the wait at Doug's was about 5-10 minutes. :-)

Is it socially acceptable to bounce this thread twice a day?

My ride home was magnificent as well: Tired from work, the temps were nice, the traffic light and the sun lower on the horizon. I felt most refreshed once i got home...

How about posting in anticipation? The weather forecast read this morning on WFMT said that tomorrow would be in the 70s and glorious.

"Glorious" didn't do it justice.

I enjoyed a beautiful ride yesterday from Beverly through Morgan Park, West Pullman, Riverdale and Blue Island. Gorgeous colors. I appreciated it that much more after the miserable weather on the previous weekend. Yesterday was a gift.

I have to agree with h' and Anne. Yesterday I rode out in the morning for a moderately brisk ride up the north shore with my cousin. As I sat outside drinking coffee up in Highland Park I realized I will be riding in a month but will not be likely to be sitting outdoors when I get off the bike. I came home, took off the tights, packed a bag and then had to go into the city for an urban part two that included errands and music. The day was spent on the bike from early morning to blinking evening lights with sunshine, blowing leaves, varied colors, turning pedals and smiling faces. It was hard to get the stupid grin off my face all day.
