The Chainlink

I've wanted to start this thread so many times this year. . . there have been so many beautiful, glorious days this year and each time I think "this is probably the last really beautiful day" and then another comes along.  Take yesterday morning-- what a wonderful combination of warm moist air and all the smells of autumn.

Bouncing this thread to the top heretoforth will be considered a declaration that said bouncer considers the day upon which the bouncing occurs to be the most beautiful day of the year.

Wish I could spend all of today outdoors.

Another competitor today for the Most Beautiful Day of the Year.  Very, very hard to stop riding.

Woke up at 3:30am.  Couldn't sleep with excitement.  Grabbed my road bike and headed out for a spin up the North Shore towards Lake Bluff in the cool fall air.  Watched the full moon slowly transition into total eclipse.   Turned around and headed down the leaf-covered McClory Path as the blood moon peeked in and out of a thin bank of low clouds.   Watched the shrouded moon fully emerge again over Fort Sheridan as pre-dawn light started to illuminate the eastern skies.   Must ride faster.  Go faster.  Cruising down Green Bay road as the still red moon faded over the western horizon and the sunrise approached.   Faster. Faster. Finally, home at 6:54am--one minute to spare before sunrise. 

Though not technically "day", I'm going submit this as a possible competitor for the Most Beautiful Nighttime Ride of the Year.  

I nominate this morning.

I am pretty sure that today is the most beautiful day for a ride so far in 2015.

Yes, this morning was pretty awesome.

Lisa, Do I detect a hint of the Stockholm syndrome here?

Probably--lack of wind, sunshine, and clear roads will do that after what we have been living with. :-)

It's all relative. ;)

Wait until you see March 9th...

I left work for a ride during lunch and I nominate today. Each decent day and I get a little manic. I can't soak it up enough. 

This was my first Chainlink post, and I can't wait for more beautiful days.

Today is a candidate! The surface of the lake was a perfect mirror. Glad to see so many more cyclists out too!

Darn, you beat me to it.
