Day after Christmas ride

December 26, 2010
Colorado, USA

Well, color us happy. We got a ride in for the third day in a row. We never saw the forecasted mid-50s but we have no complaints about riding in the mid-to-high 40s under mostly sunny skies. Better yet, we had little more than a breath of wind. Most of our Texas friends are stuck inside and did not get a ride in over the holiday so we are feeling pretty lucky.

We rode out of town and past all the hustle and bustle of the day-after at the shopping centers as quick as we could. We chose to ride at a leisurely pace up and down the country lanes and the farm roads east of busy and getting busier by the minute I-25, not breaking 45-50 mph most of the time. We managed to stretch about 60 miles out over nearly three hours, stopping once for coffee.

The mileage on The Ride clicked over 15,800 while we were out today. The Ride is two days shy of being eight months old. We finished out the day with the odometer reading 15,821 miles. This is likely the last ride of 2010 as we will see the New Year in with temps dipping into the single digits. Yikes!

What a great year this has been... stay tuned for the recap of 2010 and I'll finally get around to producing the videos of our adventures this year.
