After the Page County Century ride wrapped up, I had agreed to get back over to Hawksbill Cabin to meet up with neighbors Sally and Dan, who had taken a ride over to check out the Woodstock Brew House over on the North Branch side of the Valley. They brought a nice growler of a session pale ale to share as we sat out on the brick terrace enjoying the great day and the start of fall colors. 
We had a good time catching up, and later they invited me up for some ribs on Sunday. Dan has a vintage Weber kettle that he uses for grilling, and they have several hickory trees on the property, so it is a simple matter of gathering up a few downed branches to get an ample supply of smoke for the barbecue.
Those ribs were great. Since we'd already enjoyed the growler, he broke into his stash of Beaver Run Brewery offerings, including an IPA made with Hawksbill Hops! The nice evening outside was a reminder that fall has arrived and it won't belong before we're putting on sweaters and raking leaves.
Summer came and went too fast this year.
