cool mountain air

It was a beautiful day yesterday, but the possibility of rain in the morning seemed to keep many riders out of the mountains until it cleared off. We started at our regular time though and "enjoyed" a quiet ride up to 9000+ ft. The air really cooled off as we climbed though and I started to get an ache in my left knee. I had knee warmers on, but it still hurt. Even the right knee was sore later.

At a little higher elevation (just over 10000 ft) they apparently had snow the night before. We may not be riding to the higher elevations for very much longer! It's nice to see fall coming though.
