A lot of leaves gathered on the trail in the North Wiltshire area.

These trees in the Greenville area have lost most of their leaves

I started cycling in Milton and cycled to Hazel Grove and back logging 42 km which put me over the 5,000 km for the season. I am using my old bike Aspen, not sure when Cypress will be repaired if ever.

The rides in the mini fire truck was a big hit with the children.

The Chief is using a fire safety house to demonstrate fire hazards in a house.

Big day Sad day

I was riding in day one of the Tip 2 Tip ride. There was 22 cyclists in the event and we had lunch at the Legion.

Thanks to the beavers, the trail was flooded just west of Ellersile. Note the nice clouds in this photo.
The day started 4 but but did get up to 10 and very windy.
The big day was that I cycled from Tignish to Summerside on the trail and logged 110 km.
The sad day was that my bike (Cypress) fell of the vehicle (not my car) transporting it to Tignish and now in is not rideable, both wheels bend, seat post and rack, so it is a mess. That meant I had to ride a borrowed bike that didn't fit as well as Cypress. O well, as someone said, they are making new ones every day.

Old farm machinery

Can you tell what these two pieces of equipment was used for?
You used this one after you used the ones in the first photo.
This one was used later in the fall for a difference kind of crop, can you tell me the crop?

Sunny breaks at 13, showers this evening and the temp is down to 5.
I was to the town office this morning, spend time in the shop in the afternoon. no cycling today but planning on doing Tignish to Summerside tomorrow so that will make up for having a rest day today.

Woodland trail

Rain in morning, sunny breaks in afternoon at 17, wind and rain this evening.
I was in Charlottetown this morning, after lunch I had a interview with the CBC. Later in the afternoon I took a walk though the woods near home to check the trails, I will be skiing on these trails when the snow comes.

In one place there is a berm at the edge of a field that was hard to ski over, so I took the shovel and reduced a few cm. Time will tell if it is of any improvement.
