Its my absolute favouritest!!! You get better, clearer sunsets for some reason, where it feels like you can see for ever. And the clear mornings with the hazy mist hanging in the valleys, and clear blue above, are just a joy to wake up too.
A beautiful autumn night ride, looking out over the clear skies, last night.....

Heated seats, yup!. Leather was too chilly this morning and I prefer not to wear my coat/jacket when driving

The cat looks wistfully at the fire that's not on
When poaching your morning eggs causes the windows to steam up...
It's my birthday. Thanks for remembering.
Everywhere beyond the garden is a hellish swamp resembling Passchendaele. No riding above walking pace for six months.......

Merino makes a triumphant return to the sock drawer.
....all the sightings of the black eyed girl, pig man etc on Cannock Chase start up again.
Evening rides now contain mud and lights rather than dust and nettle stings.
and STW starts to fill up with "what light" and "which mud tyres" threads 😉
I can go out at Mid Day for a ride, and not drink 3 liters of water per hour.
Went looking for some gloves with fingers for this mornings commute.
FMB's are starting to make an appearance again. Always a good thing 😀
When the temperature drops to a pleasant 25-28 degrees during the day, making midday rides almost bearable.
