Fall Turning to Winter

Surprisingly, we've been enjoying a sunny September.  Today was our first day of precipitation in almost three weeks and strangely it was via way of flakes.  Snowflakes that is.  Bryant and I had planned on going up to Hatcher's Pass to mountain bike, but the predicated sunny day turned out to be 42 degrees. So instead of detouring up to Hatcher's Pass (we stayed at the property last night) for a miserable bike ride, we left from the house for a ride right when we got home. We happened to hit the worst part of the day as snow squall came through as we were descending on the trail.  I needed my ski goggles on, along with the thin gloves and head band I already wore under my helmet. As we neared base elevation, the flakes turned to rain.  It was a cold ride.  If this keeps up our biking days may be winding down for the season. 

Last weekend, we enjoyed two beautiful days up at Hatcher's Pass biking.  Here are a couple pictures . . .

 And a picture of the boat harbor in Seward from the weekend before.  We went Sailing Inc.'s Annual Sailboat Show and toured all the sailboats for sale in the harbor.  Not because we want to buy another sailboat, but because we wanted to see what our options are when we get ready to buy another bigger sailboat in the years to come.  It was also a good excuse to get out of town and do something for the weekend.
