Autumn is mountain-bike season

For some reasons, we always seem to forget that Fall is the best season for riding. The air is always crisp and much cooler, the colors and lights are spectacular and the leaves are thinning, providing for much enhanced visibility.

We're now on a serious count-down until snow comes and bars us from riding for good, but yesterday was a major milestone for me; for the first time in nine seasons of serious mountain-biking, I broke the 70 sorties mark!
