Trails and leaves have dried out thanks to all this sun, so we’ve got prime cycling conditions — as long as you’re ready for the cold. And there’s rain in the forecast for Saturday. So you get 10 more degrees of warmth but it comes with water falling from the sky. Hopefully not a lot!
Have fun out there.
