September: Bye Bye Summer
It's that time of year again - the days are getting shorter, there's a chill in the air, and the trees are beginning to turn. But it isn't freezing cold yet, we have no smoke and no fires, there is nothing to complain about. I just regret that summer passed so quickly and we had so little opportunity to go on bicycle tours.
The stats: I was on my bike 28 days this month: 17 days were lovely, eight days were so-so, and three days were very wet. On only one day this month did it rain so hard that I didn't venture out at all. Our little four-day bicycle tour in the middle of the month helped boost the total kilometers but I had to ride in the rain a couple of times at the end of the month to reach my goal of 800. I was determined!
Altogether I rode exactly 800 km in September, best month so far, bringing the total for the year up to 4,765. Counting the rides that were long enough that it was worth taking a picture, I was out on 214 days. Last year at this time the number of rides was 148. I have been on my bike much more often since we moved out of Munich in May 2019 and have country cycling almost from the front door.
Enough numbers, here are the pictures for the month.
