Our December Sleigh Ride

Amish Market and Home: 10.32 miles
Tandem Pedal Time: 51 minutes, average speed 11.9

With Christmas music playing on my phone, we pedaled down our road towards the Amish Market for our first ever December miles. The temperature was in the low 40’s with winds pushing 10-12 mph out of the Southeast. No snow on the ground yet so the bike continues to cruise. Many drivers waved as they passed, surprised to see us still on the bike. We have now bike 11 of the 12 months of 2012 so I guess we can call this a very remarkable season of cycling.

The outlook for the days ahead looks pretty bleak for biking so we suspect our biking will now taper off. We are just 85 miles from rolling over 19,000 on the tandem. I am still hopeful that Christmas Day will allow us to hit the road for a final spin but would rather have a white Christmas here in southern Minnesota. Holiday Cheers!
