Finally succumbed to the weather and donned my scarf, tights and boots. Don't know whether I should bike tomorrow. It's going to be cold and windy. My bell broke -.- I've repaired almost every part of my bike now! Maybe I don't need a new bell because my brakes, if dry, will do the job. And I'm going to have to rest my bike soon. No point displaying a shiny new bell eh?


Tried to capture the last hints of autumn by visiting 香山 yesterday. Disappointing but a good workout. To think I actually made a mental note to steer clear of mountains after 华山. Fragrant hill was bad, steep, rocky and steppish, but stamina-wise 华山 was worse because when we were there it was colder, windier and basically it's a much higher mountain so it was taxing stamina-wise although the route was somewhat milder. Was drenched in sweat when we finally reached the peak yesterday. Beat any gym workout hands down, but at the end of it I could feel my knees. It was as if I was lacking synovial fluid in my bursae. Lol. The sharp drop in temperatures this coming week should make for more red leaves next weekend. We're always too early haha. And the mist made for bad visibility and photo-taking.
