From 90 to 50

Late September +++++ OK. Welcome summer.
ok. welcome autumn
Late October +++++ OK. Welcome autumn.
And within a few days, our brief but badass warm Indian summer is gone.
We went from 85° to 55° in a couple of days. I don't particularly care for the heat much at all. I'm a huge fan of the high 40°s and low 50°s. Nothing more. Nothing less.

However, I very much appreciated the hot heat this year.
Mucho calor.
It just felt tremendously good to take a brief break from layering so damn much every day, I even rode sans tights a few times, and give my pale-fog tan a break and get some vitamin D on my skin.

My favorite part about the warm days was enjoying all the end of summer concerts, early coffee rides because it is already super clear and beautiful at 7AM and nothing smells better than a good dose of mean delicious coffee.
Late nite rides home, improptu bike peeps gatherings and clear starry skies with ding-ding bike bell soundtracks.

Me gusta el sol. Me gustas tú.
indian summer ICE
Ojos de Indian summer.
The eyes get the fog treatment almost year-round so, getting some sun without shades is good while it lasted.
oh hai
OH HAI September heat. It was nice to have you.
See you next year, now bring your friend the fog back. kthx.

  7. I wish it would get cool enough consistently in Atlanta to wear tights in the mornings, but not be burning up by afternoon! We have the usual crazy Fall temperatures, with a range of 40-85 degrees, all in one day :)

  8. I love this post with all the pretty Meli pictures! That last one is too cool, total feminine badass.

    I didn't realize that San Fran gets hot in the fall, that's interesting. 40s and 50s is my ideal cycling temperature. Too bad my morning commutes are already creeping down to the 30s.
