Fall
September 25, 2015
Summer is fabulous with its long days and sunny skies. But if I were to pick a favorite bike touring season, it would be the fall. Why? Roads are free of insane summer holiday traffic.
Tents become warm and cozy dens, instead of stuffy domes.
The cooler temps allow you to cover up a bit, instead of having to slather on sunscreen mutiple times a day.
Fall colors.
Persimmons!
Cool mornings and hot coffee.
So grab a sweater, pack a tent, leave the mosquito repellant at home, and enjoy an autumn bike tour.
