<p>I rode on Saturday and it was what I would consider, a beautiful fall day. The colors were amazing. The temperature was just good enough where I only needed a few extra layers, some of which were removed later in the ride.<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1219818764?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="721" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1219818764?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p>I have no love for the orange glow but I do appreciate the fact that they offer better coverage. Three streetlights on my block have been replaced with LEDs so far. The dark spots are significant, especially where there are large tree branches.</p>

<p>Ever since Chicago started putting in LED street lights in with the downward aiming function there has been a lot more dark zones for cycling on city streets especially in areas where tree foliage blocks the light. I miss the orange glow…</p>

<p>I do enjoy a crisp morning ride to the station. Not too cold, just with a bit of a chill in the air and I'm bundled up enough not to be cold or hot. Just kinda perfect and enjoyable to see the beautiful trees changing. This morning was exactly that for me.</p>

<p>For the last few months, I've been encountered more full-block or multi-block street light outages than in an average year. </p>
<p>Special fun - finding one of these in an area where pavement is like craters of the moon. Makes me grateful for a good headlight.</p>

<p>I was out yesterday and it's kind of clammy out there. Warm enough to sweat a little, cold enough to feel it and damp enough that it won't go away.</p>

<p><span>Looking at Fall view really brought back some great memories, that's why it's my favorite.</span></p>
