Bike to Bandana

Having revived my interest in cycling in Cambodia last year and with Backroads again this summer, I finally bought a bicycle and some sexy bike shorts. I picked an ideal autumn day for my first solo ride in NC in many years--cool and crisp and clear. The leaves were just hitting peak, and the road from my house to Bandana was empty of traffic...perfect for riding, and luckily I remember my camera.
