Today was the first ride since last Saturday. Between the yo-yo December weather and a list of meetings it has been a difficult time to ride. The weather yo-yo continues tomorrow too. The temperature was 75 degrees with mostly cloudy skies and a WSW 13 mph wind. Since I only had time for a 26-27 mile ride the wind was not a real factor since I did not go far enough to deplete my energy. I did not see any other riders out and the route was my typical Sunday one. I did look at the Christmas decorations many people put but the best time to see them is the dark. Some homes are vary elaborate.

I continue to enjoy the Motobecane Le Champion road bike. This carbon fiber frame and the Shimano Ultegra components work very well together.

Earlier in the day while running some errands I come upon three bikers on W. Lake Houston Parkway. They were headed south. All three were wearing Bike Barn shorts, different jerseys though. Later when I was headed back home from a meeting I spotted two other riders as well.

Even though the weather is supposed to turn cold overnight I am hoping to take the Motobecane 700HT MTB for a few miles. this will break my rule to not ride when the temperature is below 60 degrees.

Ride information for the month and year:

• December miles 90.97
• YTD miles 5024.29 (I made the goal. I think I can get to 5100.)
