A couple of inches of fresh #snow overnight here in #Akron means the first really snowy commute for me this morning.

Today was the first day I was able to ride a bike in a month due to an infection in one of my toes. It's the longest I've ever gone without riding a bike (as a cyclist) since I started in 1996. There have been times where I might have been off for 2 weeks because of a sinus infection or some other respiratory illness. A month without something that's just a part of most days is a long time.

Thankfully, some antibiotics have gradually taken care of the problem, and I got the green light on Thursday to resume training. The downside is that I've probably lost 10% of the fitness I'd spent most of the year building. That makes this year's #cyclocross season a bit of a bust, which is definitely disappointing after spending a lot of time training for it, and I was just coming off a 3rd place in my second race of the season.

Now, it's time to start getting ready for 2026. ON-season starts in earnest on Monday. But, it was so nice to be out on a bike today.

Also, I got to take in some fall colors and some of my favorite graffiti in #Akron. #WitchBattleBitches

Panel with a skeleton standing next to a roller coaster with DEATH written over the entrance and with supports made from bones. 13. Ghost 1 - Because he had no guts!

I didn’t expect this morning to be my first time driving over the new southbound OH-8 bridge by downtown #Akron. I also didn’t realize that last night would likely be my last time driving over the old bridge.

It’s been really interesting watching the construction over the last couple of years. It’ll be another couple of years before the new northbound bridge is done.

Went to the #Akron #Ohio main library book sale today. . . my husband bought appx 110 CDs for $5.

They may be an antique format now, but I was glad to have CDs the other day when aws was down!
