32.5miles

I rode up the Gateway Trail all the way to highway 12. It is a beautiful trail and I wish I would have rode up there when the leaves were turning. It must have been gorgeous.

This was the first time that I fully utilized the lights on my bike. I have mounted a Mini Maglite LED on my handlebars using an old inner tube. I discovered this little trick at this sight while doing some web research. The mounting worked great and was easily adjustable. The best part is that it cost me nothing and if it wears out I can make another for free.

I also tested out my Foxwear shoe covers for the first time. They are really nothing more than large socks that I wear over my shoes. I was suppose to cut holes in the bottoms for my cleats, but I found that my eggbeater pedals would clip right through the fabric so I'll just let them make their own holes. The shoe covers add a lot of warmth, mostly because they block most of the wind. I look forward to using them more when it gets really cold.
