Earn your turn pt 1

This is not a post about hiking up a mountain to go skiing.

The leaves are starting to turn around here. Seems like a lot of people go and drive around to check out the fall colors. I opted for the bike ride up and around to see the colors turning.

You guessed it, gravel roads were the route I chose. The Spot cx bike was made for those roads, perfection, no other way to describe it. Seems like the colors look better when you pedal your way up the mountains to see them, or maybe it is just that my vision was blurry and I was hallucinating.
