Merry Christmas!

Continuing the Christmas tradition I went out for a ride Christmas Day. It was exceptionally cold today and I wore ski gloves with the bar mitts, a thermal hat, and started riding with the socks on the middle setting. By the time I got to town I was sweating but then it cooled off later when the sun went away and my gear choice was spot on!

Christmas Day Ride with the Cows

I decided a needed a new route that's easy to add or subtract miles depending upon time. So I headed down to Walnut Tree Hill and then over to Glen Road to Rt 34.  From there I road down Oak View to Wasserman Way. Riding this way gives me the option to cut in at Fairfield Hills towards Dog Pound to lessen the climb.

Cycling with Santa

I met up with Santa at the Burrito Shack Christmas Day

on the south side of Newtown, CT

Santa was fast and hung on my wheel, a lot!

Always wondered how he deals with the heat
I was wearing shorts and that red suit of his most have been hot to ride in.

Santa even broke away on Boggs Hill!
