As you may remember, LaUna spurred the movement to get me a new camera and I have finally set out to take photos of the surrounding fall colour (yes with a "U") changes, as well as document the shit show of organization happening in the bike shop, a "Fishy Friday" lunch outing to a SUSHI restaurant, the destruction of my liver at the hands of Canadian Julie, and some Bicycle Radness in the local hills. check it out...
You know how I love to label things...
and to make piles of "like items" as Mom used to say...
the request to have a quarter of the garage empty seemed an impossible one, but its not too shabby...roof will be fixed by spring...
Fishy Friday...LaUna asked me if it felt like home to be in the Mall Food Court, and I said "Yes, it gives me that old familiar feeling of wanting to kill Kill KILL!!"
But Sushi made it ok...
Grab a plate as it floats on by and enjoy...
eat...stack plate...repeat until full...its all you can eat for 10 bucks!
save room for Jello...
Friday nite was supposed to be a mellow night of movies, gelatto, and friends being lazy...but I was kidnapped by Canadians and forced to drink and dance till 4 in the morning...
...which made the saturday morning bike ride look a little like this...

Life through amber lenses can be quite fantastically deceptive...

Top of Pietra Mora facing south towards Cougar Hill...this will be known as Rob's Loop...
After starting the thrill of a well deserved descent, I slammed on the brakes to the cheers of a group coming UP the hill on mountain bikes...It was Bepe and the guys of MugelBike Bepe - never a helmet - always a smile!
a sleepy Faenza off in the distance, at the bottom of a patchwork of be-rowed hills full of yellows, greens, and reds...
Arrived home, feeling lucky to have even made it as far as I did...
4 hours sleep, 3 shots of coffee, 3 pastries, a little over 40km, and a TON of climbing, a surprise run in with friends, smiles, high fives, clear thoughts, headache at bay, and a fresh pot of green soup on the stove to warm my guts...
Not a bad day at all...

Awesome post duder! I'm jealous of the colors. All the snow we got here ruined the leaves and made fall seem way to short. Pretty cool you saw Bepe and the crew. Next time you see them tell them I said hi!
