Shoot, that's normal spring and fall weather here. I think the biggest temp swing I've seen was low 30's to mid 80's. Yep, had leaves, and pine needles both put me down before. We won't have a good leaf peak this year, all the rain and wind from the hurricanes have already stripped most of the leaves very early.
Scored some new 30mm wheels thanks to a friend, and my LBS. Went by Friday and picked up the extra pawls and springs to convert the rear hub to 108POE, new cartridge for my Drop Line dropper post, a new bottle of Orange Seal, and a restock on my favorite in ride sports drink.

So, I got out yesterday for a shakedown run with said new wheels. And HOLY CRAP! Wide rims are where it's at, I really dig the new wheels. Completely changed the feel of the bike too, just so much traction available. But, everything has it's limits, and I found 'em, and crashed in spectacular fashion for it. Strava says I hit 30mph just before the crash, all I know is, I slid a LONG ways and got lucky I didn't go off the side. It's going to be alright though, the wheels are fine. I feel like somebody hit my knee with a hammer this morning. Sad part is, I have some really nice Race Face Ambush knee pads that I wasn't wearing. DOH!
