We’ve often gone for a ride around Christmastime, as much because we can as anything else. Ruth has been agitating for a ride where she gets her own bike, and Max is always happy to get in Ruth’s normal trailer. Anne got me a taillight camera for Christmas, so it would be an excuse to try that out.
We decided to keep it simple, a heading towards the bay, with vague ideas of looping through Coyote Hills.
Today’s temperature was much milder, although the ride was still a challenge. We visited a few of the places and roads wesaw on the West Coast tour, and even made it back before dark again.
Now firmlycemented as a regular tradition, we’re doing an overnight bike tour this Thanksgiving weekend. We’re returning to the Central coast of California, looping between Santa Maria and Buellton, passing through Solvang and Lompoc.
