Thanks, Emily
Last entry for the year. Did a little skiing in the morning, compliments of an inch and a half of snow, overnight. Could use more, for sure, but actually fine for the fat bike, so finished the day with a few laps around the lake on the bike.
For the month, never missed a day of either fat biking, skiing or snowshoeing. Great way to end the year.
Happy New Year, everyone.
Friday (Dec 30) we drove east about 80 miles to Willcox, AZ and did a birding ride. First stop had lots of Sandhill Cranes, a Prairie Falcon and a Eurasion Wigeon, along with a lot of other ducks and a few lingering Avocets. Then about 13 miles out through the desert and agricultural fields to find a Ferruginous Hawk. Added 4 species to my "birding by bike" list and spent some quality time with my husband. It was overcast and cool, but calm, so a nice day to ride. Maybe 32 miles?
Sounds like a nice ride, az!
Another 35 miles, same route as NY's Day. The trail is still absolutely packed with people. I can't wait until people go back to school and work. Yes, I am selfish. I leave it to them on Saturdays, but during the week, I like my quiet trail! I know it will be as that's how it was last year. We didn't start riding until around mid-Jan. after buying our motorhome, and the trail was pretty dead during the week. Just a few old farts like us! :D
Temp in the 70s to low 80s, way above normal even for here. Supposed to get much cooler this weekend.
