Was nice, a bit chilly for here (~50), lots of rain but only a little during the ride.

Wow. It was that warm here when I started my ride, though it had dropped to 42 just after sundown. Gravel roads were in perfect shape, not wet or dusty. I rode a couple of abandoned roads just to see the old bridges. Had to walk half a mile through tall grass on the first, sometimes carrying the bike. I had to be very careful climbing up onto the first bridge. Look Delta cleats don't give much grip on steel. I would have had a tough time getting the bike up there if that tree hadn't been there to hold onto. Bike was the Soma Double Cross with C10 and 35 mm knobby Kendas.

Recent changes in jobs means big moves. This was our first ride after moving in between the rains, as recommended by my LBS.

Taking advantage of a break in the weather to check out the filling reservoirs; Mt Umunhum in the distance.

My ride today was cold and windy off the lake. I never stopped just rode and than turned around and rode home. You'll have to use your imagination😀

Started seeing some icicles forming in western NJ, and we had a white Christmas eve in higher elevations.
