I took the Ripmo out for an evening ride in Providence. Spring Creek Climb and Canyon Road got me up high, then I spent a while going around the Challenge Loop and the upper figure eights before dropping down Providence Canyon.

The leaves are at their peak, with reds and oranges lining every trail and the low sun coming through the maples. The only traffic was a herd of cows ambling down the singletrack, in no hurry to let me by.
