Last Ride of the Season (?)
Odometer: 262.5
Although there are some things about living in the DC/Baltimore corridor that drive me crazy – like the endless traffic and congestion – we are fortunate here to have a long, beautiful fall with pleasant days well into November. Despite recent overnight frosts, today was one such beautiful day with daytime highs over 70 degrees and just a hint of a breeze. Pretty much picture perfect.
Around 2:30, I decided to take a break from studying for my economics exam and enjoy the beautiful day. If you have the chance, a November scooter ride is simply blissful. The leaves crackling underfoot, er, wheel and a crisp autumn breeze ruffling your hair is hard to beat. I didn’t even have to bundle up: just jeans, a long sleeve tshirt, a fleece vest and my wicked cool scooting gloves (white with flames, thanks very much!) did the trick. I did 19 miles all around town and could have probably done another 19 if it weren’t for this exam looming over my head. Leave it to an econ professor to ruin a perfectly delightful weekend.
I’m hoping that I’ll still get a few more chances to ride in the next week or two, but the weather can be unpredictable so you never know. If not, though, I am happy with the 2008 scooting season and already looking forward to spring.
