Is this really November?

Made it out for two little road rides in spite of my nasty cold. it was just too nice to not go! is this really November? Rode the cross bike. I got late starts both times and ended up in the dark with lights for part of each ride. It was actually really relaxing to ride in the dark with the lights. There wasn't too much traffic (relatively) and there was something peaceful about it. Except for the potholey part, and the people who wouldn't dim their brights. But even the potholey stuff didn't bother me as much as usual, I was just happy to get out and ride.
