*Who’s Riding: It may be just me, but I hope that others will join me. I will be riding, rain or shine.

It’s Tradition: Every year, for the past several years, I’ve taken a day off in the middle of October to ride to Niagara Falls and back. The first few years, I did the ride by myself, and I took the American side. Crossing the Grand Island bridges is no fun, though, and I’ve heard that the Canadian side is much more scenic, so last year, that’s the route I took. It is amazingly better than riding up the Niagara River on the American side. The other change from my tradition was that I invited a couple friends to go with me. Only one of my friends could join me, but the two of us had a great time.
