A great autumn ride. The colors have started changing and it was very pretty all along. It was also a great day to ride.
We had originally planned to return by Raymond and Lyons. But clouds had started gathering and the temperature began dropping. So, we abandoned that idea and returned via Left Hand Canyon.

A personal note: after I crashed while descending from Brainard Lake in July 2006, it is the first time that I gathered enough courage to ride there again:) Okay, I was a lot more sensible and slower today than I was on that July afternoon:)
