Merry Christmas - 25 miles on the 25th

It was midday before the gifts were opened, the trikes & bikes were ready to roll but we managed to hit the trails today. Before we finished we'd racked up over 25 miles on the 25th!

We took the took trikes and a mountain bike from the house across town to the W&OD trail and east to the trail head. The weather started around 45 degrees and cooled down as we neared the end of our ride. All three of us pushed through some rough spots and managed to never give up, no matter how badly we'd timed each climb.

It was great to spend a few hours away from our electronic tethers and moving with our own power.  We've never been the family that played "backyard" football on holiday events. Maybe we'll become the family that squeezes in a quick ride instead.

Merry Christmas everyone!
