Observation:  Funny how your senses are heightened in certain situations.  It’s fall again, and while the cool weather makes for great riding, the leaves do tend to create a dumb challenge.  Not riding on them, that has never seemed to be a problem, but when approaching an abandoned building or a piece of art next to someone’s house, I always try to be as quiet as possible.  But when it’s 7am and I’m in a strange location, it’s ridiculous how that simple crunching sound can seem like an explosion in my ear with each and every step.

Distance:  22.16 miles

D-Fact: Only one city has won three major sports championships in the same year:  Detroit in 1935, when the Lions won the NFL Title, Tigers won The World Series and the Red Wings took the Stanley Cup.
