So not every sunrise is stellar. Some are just too cloudy. But when you’re riding the first fifteen miles or so in complete darkness, you don’t really notice how cloudy it is!!!

And then this happened…

You gotta love when random art “installations” pop-up in the middle of nowhere. Like these great piles of stacked rocks along the bike trail on the South Side. I love when someone decides that they want to stop and “play” with some rocks. Making these great little stacks… left behind for people like me to enjoy & appreciate. Thank you… whoever.

Hard to believe it is already October?! How did that happen so fast? I still like to “think” that it’s Summer… but the cold weather & strong winds definitely say Fall.
