warm winter

Took a bicycle for a ride after nearly two months due to worsening hemorrhoids. In the meantime, autumn had passed, and winter had arrived. The leaves had already withered and died, turning brown in the calm, wintry landscape. Unlike typical winter weather, it was really warm over the weekend. Took carefully a short route so that the hemorrhoid symptoms could not get worse during cycling. Personally, winter and autumn are the best season for outdoor activities, thanks to the comfortable dryness without  sweating. 
New bridge has been completed next to the current Seongju 성주 bridge crossing the Nakdong 낙동 river. Arrived there to find the new one had not yet been open to traffic, so crossed its empty bridge road without any disturbance. Because the bridge was the destination or turning point, returned back, taking other road southwards after crossing the bridge.
