It’s all about staying warm on the trails this time of year, like this couple was doing in early September along the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail in northern Vermont. (JAN BASCH PHOTO).

A “ghost bike” memorial is seen where a female J-1 worker was struck and killed on her bicycle at the corner of Route 16 and Eastman Road in North Conway. Conway police have asked employers to provide J-1 workers with rules of the road. (RACHEL SHARPLES PHOTO)

I don’t need a calendar to tell me when fall’s here. I just look to my fingertips. On Aug. 29, just before 6 a.m., fall arrived for me when my fingertips told me my fingerless bicycle gloves wouldn’t cut it on the Mountain Division Trail as temperatures were a seasonally chilly 45-plus degrees.
So, I reached into the unzipped back pocket of my fluorescent yellow bicycle jacket and took out my hibernating long-fingered cycling gloves that just happened to find their way into that pouch as the first maples turned red.
