'Tis the season...

...to go cycling. This past week has been a good cycling week. Our friend Taz, who lives in Colorado, has been back east visiting friends and family. She came over to our house last week and we managed a 26 mile ride. About half of it was to Mount Vernon and back, and then Bob joined us for a ride into Old Town. It was supposed to rain, but it turned out to be partly cloudy and about 50 degrees. I've found it's usually best to just stick with any outdoor plans, even if the forecast is against you, because the weather predictors seem to be wrong a lot of the time.

We biked over the weekend, and today it made it up to 66 degrees, so another bike ride was in order. A holiday gift from mother nature. While riding I couldn't help but think of family and friends in Colorado who are currently freezing their butts off and enjoying lots of snow. Maybe on my upcoming January birthday I too will get to enjoy some snow, rather than enjoying freakishly warm days. Last year I rode my bike in shorts and a T-shirt on my birthday! It's all good...

This is also the season for spending time in Santa's workshop. Bob and I have both been busy making gifts, no pics though, because we don't want to ruin it for anyone.
