Donna volunteered to host our ride today. The fall colors in the valley where at their best, it couldn't have been a nicer day. We had a pretty good turn out of riders too. The steep climb up to Donna and Gary's house gave us all a workout. Turning right off of Critchfield road onto 22nd then up Quailridge the grade turns quickly up to a good 10%. It is only a block or so but still a significant challange. We where rewarded for out efforts, however. Pumpkin and apple pie, cider and cookies where available. Most of us had to show our gratitude to our hosts by sampling both pumpkin and apple pie. I hope everyone had a chance to get outside today, it was a beautiful day.
