But at least since the days are getting shorter it is cooling off nicely at night. I\u2019m looking forward to it\u2019s being officially fall soon and hope the weather will start matching it.<\/p>\n<p>My riding has been pleasant because it is cool in the mornings. Last Tuesday my group rode out to the end of Redwood Retreat road West of Morgan Hill, about 2 1\/2 hours on my upright. It was a great ride, but my neck was stiff at the end. I am prone to neck issues, which I try to minimize on a conventional bike by staying more upright, as well as standing up to pedal often. I did these but still had an issue, the neck bugged me for more than a day after. So I think I\u2019ll stick to my recumbent on longer rides, including my group rides. As long as the ride is an hour or less I do fine on the upright..<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday I had a relatively short (90 minutes) but still challenging hard ride on my recumbent, which felt great. I especially enjoyed Friday, a long brisk cruise out and back on Coyote Creek trail.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12859\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/2025\/09\/21\/waiting-for-fall\/image-459\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-7.png\" data-orig-size=\"1371,864\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-7.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-7.png?w=1024\" width=\"1024\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-7.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12859\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>The entrance to Fernwood Cellars, a nice Winery at the end of Redwood Retreat Road<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"jp-post-flair\" class=\"sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sd-content\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-linkedin\"\/>\n<li class=\"share-facebook\"\/>\n<li class=\"share-pinterest\">\n<div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbionicoldguy.home.blog%2F2025%2F09%2F21%2Fwaiting-for-fall%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fbionicoldguy.home.blog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F09%2Fimage-7.png&amp;description=Waiting%20For%20Fall\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"\/><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- .entry-footer --><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-author-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"entry-author author-avatar-show\">\n<div class=\"author-avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t<img referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" alt=\"Unknown's avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=80&amp;d=&amp;r=G\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=80&amp;d=&amp;r=G 1x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=120&amp;d=&amp;r=G 1.5x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=160&amp;d=&amp;r=G 2x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=240&amp;d=&amp;r=G 3x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=320&amp;d=&amp;r=G 4x\" class=\"avatar avatar-80\" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!-- .author-avatar --><\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"author-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\tPublished by <span class=\"author-name\">BionicOldGuy<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- .author-heading --><\/p>\n<p class=\"author-bio\">\n\t\t\t\tI am a Mechanical Engineer born in 1953, Ph.
