Wet Leaves Are Not A Joke

Wet leaves have a talent for looking soft and becoming treacherous. They hide potholes, cover road markings, sit in shaded corners, and turn braking zones into something much less friendly.

Autumn riding needs a bit more suspicion. Watch the tree line. Expect damp patches to stay damp. Avoid sudden inputs when the road is covered. Give yourself more space and do not let a sunny sky convince you the surface is dry everywhere.

This is also the season to keep tyres in good order. Tread, pressure, and condition matter when the road starts offering surprises. The bike only has the grip the surface is willing to give.
