Indian Summer ride

Temperatures have been so mild these last days, that at times, it felt more like Spring than Autumn. Today temperatures even exceeded 22° C, so I went looking for my SPD-sandals. I took the XP to ride to Veldhoven in the Netherlands, where I wanted to do some shopping in a watersports shop. Man, I really did enjoy the ride : the sun in my face, leaves in all kind of colors falling from the trees all around me, barefooted in my sandals and only a short and a t-shirt, it was just great ! I did not take major roads but tried to ride in a straight line as much as possible, going mostly through small towns and sometimes through or near some forests. All terraces of the cafés that were open were crowded with people enjoying the beautiful weather. If this is what global warming is all about, I'm really going to enjoy it !

Fall colors all around ....
