[RBW] Re: Enjoying autumn colors

Deacon,
Autumn in Colorado also looks amazing. And your snow ride photos are 
wonderful.
It looks like winter comes about a month earlier in your area than where I 
live.
Snow starts to fall in about a week here, so I'll have to think about 
preparing my bike for winter.

Richard,
Thank you.
The decaleur has lots of bolts & nuts so it's unelegant, but it turned out 
that handling feel is better when the bag is sitting on the rack.
(My bike tends to wander when I attach the bag to handlebar.)

Anton,
I googled Catskill Mountains, and it sure looks like a beautiful place.
It must be very lovely in autumn!

Ryan,
I'm looking forward!

Ian,
I have visited the area several times, so I have pretty good idea as to 
which route is quiet and which route is not.
I had to ride on  busy road in some places, and I didn't feel like taking 
pictures in such places, so there are pictures of quiet places only.
Shin Torii Pass route was less quiet than I expected. I think I met about 
20 cars and 10 cyclists in two hours.
Matsuzaka Pass route was very quiet as before; I met only one car in two 
hours.
I did not worry about cars because they go at slow speed. Roads are narrow, 
and there are lot of tight curves like this 
, so if they go 
too fast they are likely to jump into a river before hitting any cyclist.

Paul,
My pleasure!


Takashi

Takashi,

Thank you for those beautiful photos. They brought a smile to me, too. It 
looks so lovely there, and even reminds me of my childhood home in the 
Catskill mountains of NYS.

Best,

Thanks for the beautiful images. I have a Bar Sack as well and I admire

Beautiful, Takashi! I always love your annual convex mirror photo — just wee 
enough that it doesn’t mess with my vertigo. I have two such mirrors on one of 
my routes (and need for more on other routes but they go wanting so far!) and 
in actual life it messes with vertigo so I don’t use them and tilt my hat bill 
to block them.

It is amazing and wondrous how similar yet different autumn is the world over, 
(outside the tropic zone). Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

Patrick,

In Aizu area, it tends to be rainy in this season of year.
I am glad I visited there even if it was raining.
Next time I visit, I will be careful not to miss elves!

Here are pictures of the ride on a week after it, in Nagano (near where I 
live). Sunny this time!

I was particularly struck by the misty, wet forest scenes -- very different
from high desert New Mexico, and not at all what we in most of the US would
first think of at the mention of "fall pictures." But beautiful; one
imagines elusive Tolkein-ian elves threading their way unobtrusively
through the undergrowth on their way to some mystical elven gathering
(probably to get drunk on miruvor. (Which leads my undisciplined

Patrick and Ann,

Thank you!
I was smiling when riding under the trees, and when I came home and looked 
through photos I took, they made me smile once again.

Patrick, I don't remember about trees in the US very well, but yes, we have 
yellow, orange, and red leaves here.
But a friend of mine in Hiroshima (warmer place in Japan) said that it's 
less colorful there in autumn, so it depends.

BTW, sky and cloud in your picture looks brilliant!
If you want brilliant colors of leaves, going near the trees and looking up 
works better, maybe?
