Today was one of those beautiful fall days. It was crisp and clear with a stiff breeze blowing the falling leaves all over. As we rode along the backroads of South Jersey our eight bikes made the leaves swirl around in sweeping patterns.Today's ride was from Lumberton NJ to Cape May NJ. As far as the regular riding season goes this was the last ride of the year. This also marked the beginning of the 'Polar Bear' season, with registration taking place in Cape May. I didn't know this wa
s part of the reason for today's ride so when we arrived in Cape May and turned the corner downtown I was suprised to see hundreds of bikes. They were all in Cape May to sign up for the winter Polar Bear Ride season. I have no intention of participating in winter riding, especially with the investment in heated riding clothes required to survive.

We ate lunch on the benches by the beach, watching the surfers and talking to all the walkers going by.
The ride home was as beautiful as the ride down, with the air feeling cooler as the winds picked up.
I'm going to miss the regular riding season but I'll be ready to go if we get any of those unseasonably warm fall and winter days.
