Default Christmas gift from the weather gods!

Don’t ever recall riding on Christmas Day with only a fleece pullover on! Great couple

of days in the Shenandoah valley to ride, mid to high fifties and sunny.

Sunny but cool (mid-30's) here in southern Michigan today.

Could ride if I really wanted but I don't want to get the trike dirty and not be able to clean it before putting away.

At the other end of the spectrum, California is getting rain and Sierra snow. Man we need it.

It was a nice Christmas day here, too. It was in the 60's all day. I got a chance to ride 200 miles round trip to visit family. I have never had that opportunity on Christmas day before.

In eastern NC, I road 150 miles Christmas day (68*) visiting family and another 118 yesterday (75*) just because the weather was awesome.

I plan on going out again today after I have lunch. I have a few gift cards to spend!
