When I saw this image by couloir stream by on the Bike198 Flickr Group, it reminded me of the fall riding we are getting into currently in the SE. While many of you are already seeing snow in the northern sections of the globe, this time of year brings our riding into the night and cold, crisp morning. We have to break out the long sleeve jerseys, base layers and other winter riding clothes as we watch our warm breath shock the cold air. When winter riding hits, a gloomy gray casts over the trail and creates a unique scene that will be the backdrop for many rides in and out of ice, snow and sunny cold afternoons.
The black and white setting of this image with the trees as the frame really brought our minds to where riding will be taking us over the next couple of months.

I founded Bike198 back in 2008 and started riding bikes seriously in 1994. A lot has changed since that time and one of the greatest releases is still getting out on the bike and shredding trail or tearing up the road.
