On Sunday, I finally made it up for a ride I’ve been wanting to get in for a couple years – Kenosha Pass during the height of the leaf-changing season. Hans and Tracy (of The Best Muffin Blog fame), Chris, Lauren, and I met on top of the pass early on Sunday to find 31F-degree temps. It was the first cold air I’ve experienced since spring, and I’m eager for more. Not a whole lot of words to go along with this one, just some photos of beautiful scenes.

Getting ready to head out:

And the soul-crushing final climb back to the car:

We couldn’t have timed it better, and I can’t wait to do the same ride next year.
