Любишь кататься - люби и саночки возить - as Kalinka_vinnie has said - you'd better like the sweating involved if you like to get some pleasure out of something.

По осени (colloquial) = осенью (as a season in general), в осеннее время. We also say "по весне", but we don't say "по лету", "по зиме".Quote:
