Don't Give Up!

Leaves dancing in the wind, morning mists, epic sunsets, and everywhere shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown that mesmerize the eyes. Yet, the wind can be extremely annoying, especially when it's not at your back but vehemently pushing against you. Mornings are chilling, and you can't feel the brittle fingers on your hands or feet. Sunsets come too early, and you often find yourself commuting to and from work in the dark. The colourful foliage soon falls off, leaving only bare and melancholic trees behind. These are the two faces of autumn – a season where you either love cycling or feel the urge to end the cycling season and curl up under a blanket with a warm cup of tea. However, this year, we embrace the motto: DON'T GIVE UP! Even when the weather is gloomy. Even when it's drizzling a bit. Even when it's cold. Even when the sun doesn't show up all day. Don't give up, gather a group of friends, stash some goodies in your pocket, and enjoy being outdoors. As they say, not every experience has to be exceptionally fantastic; the key is that it's intense.
