Hey, sorry for the lack of awesome hiking images but I continue to prepare for a cycling event on 10/2 and then, back to hiking, honest.  I ran my car through the wash as my and everyone's vehicle continues to pick up bug remnants at an unprecedented pace.

Typically, when I take a break during a ride, I just sit on the concrete in front of a market.  I must say, with all the dead bugs laying around, it's probably not the healthiest environment.  So, I was glad to stop at a market that had nice seating.

More rain moved through and with it, cooler temperatures.  Looking up at the front range of the Catalinas, I see clouds lingering around Finger Rock.  I wonder how over grown the route to the base of that formation has become.

One evening, the temperature cooled into the 60's so I started a fire in Amy's outdoor fireplace.  We really enjoy sharing a fire and between my indoor fireplace and her outdoor version, we'll have many opportunities.

I was going to try out a new cycling group called, "Master's Cyclists" but it appeared rain was not going to move out by the 6:30am start so I bailed on that but then Sunday's group ride with Cyclefit was washed out too.  Monday morning arrived and with it an awesome forecast as we enter our glorious fall, winter & spring seasons.  It was great to not have to get inside by 10am as I rode 61 miles around Oro Valley.
