I took the Ripmo to Wayne’s Loop in Mendon for an afternoon ride. The route followed the counterclockwise loop twice, climbing into the woods and winding back through the open hillside.

Red, orange and yellow leaves filled the trees along the trail, and fallen leaves had started collecting on the singletrack. The photos caught both the wooded sections and the colorful slopes above the open stretches.
