The temperature was brisk when I set out, and I also set a brisk pace. I rode 43 miles out and back to Hellyer velodrome on the Coyote Creek trail. The fall colors are nearing their peak around here so the scenery was beautiful. On the way back I ran into a gorgeous bobcat on the trail, so it was a very enjoyable romp.
Some color at the velodrome. The track is on the other side of the white wall
The bobcat was staring intently at something. If it was potential prey, it was on the wrong side of the fence, so eventually, the big kitty got frustrated and walked away
I was staying as still as possible on the other side of the trail, but the cat just ambled by, paying me no notice
