An early winter wonderland on this date, 12 years ago.

I'm still basking in the memory of yesterday's high of +16C and having a wonderful run in shorts and a t-shirt ...
Then I look at my photos from 2 years ago today:

November 7th (2024) - I had a great ride along Edmonton's river valley trails today. It was a beautiful day. At this time of year, any day we could get snow that stays and temperatures that stay below freezing.

It's here - the first snow to stay on the ground this year. Nothing to severe yet, it is -2C this morning but it's a sample of what's to come.

Yesterday I did a celebratory 65K ride through Edmonton's river valley. This bridge near Fort Edmonton marked the most southerly point in my journey at about the 3/4 of the distance.

Certain times of year evoke strong memories. For me, the first week of May always does it.
Forty years ago, after having just finished University, I set off with 3 buddies on a 4- week cycling tour (primary destination: the Loire Valley in France).
It was the first time I'd ever even flown. We flew from #YEG to Gatwick, then loaded up our bikes and set off cycling through the lush green landscape of southeast England towards Dover where we would take a hovercraft to Calais, France.
Ah memories!

#Introduction thread:
I was born in Edmonton, Canada (#YEG) and have lived my whole life here (which is quite rare).
