It's Snowing!

Today I rode up Findley Rd.  (You can find the map for this ride in the older posts) I didn't ride to the top, stopped a little short.  It was starting to get dark and I was pretty tired.  When I first started up the road, it started to rain a little.  By the time I was most of the way up the road (past the last house) it was snowing.  I have decided I need to get some shoe covers to keep my feet from getting so cold.  The red clay mud is pretty gooey this time of year.  The Red clay goo makes for some interesting riding. When I lost balance after traction was compromised I put my foot down in the muck.  It is really difficult to clip back in when you have an inch of mud on the bottom of your cleat...

Christmas Eve?

My son and I went for a quick ride up the road for about 40 minutes or so.  Christmas eve... I was trying to tire him out- so that he would go to sleep tonight.  He gets so excited for Christmas.  Well, it tired me out too.  It has been quite some since I have ridden but it was a lot of fun.  It was raining a little on us.  We rode up to the out of the Way Cafe and then took a detour up Findley Rd for about a mile.
