So I'm seriously thinking I will ride my bike to Thanksgiving. Actually it would be the day before because it's a 70 mile ride. BF is coming day of so I can put the bike in the car and ride back with him. The weather is supposed to be about 45-50 degrees. Sun will come out after 10 am, headwind about 7-10 MPH. Been wanting to do this for a while, it's through nothing but countryside.

Awesome! We keep wanting to do that (Bike to Thanksgiving) - but there aren't any good bike routes from here to there. We checked.
Our dinner is late enough, though, that we should be able to get a ride in before we leave - yay!!Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...

My trip will be 150 miles one way, with homemade pecan pie, spiced peaches, and 3 doz dinner rolls. Even if it were a short trip, keeping everything level on a bike would be a challenge.
Hope everyone has a fun Thanksgiving and safe travels.
But I'll get a ride in before I leave town. And I'll bring my bike with me so I can stop in St. Michael's for a ride along the way home.

We'll do a pre-turkey ride with our cycling group, then come home for low key dinner with our 21 year old son.

Six hour drive Wednesday night, expect to arrive around 3 a.m.
Family plans Thursday and Saturday.
An even longer drive back on Monday (expecting more traffic, since it's during the day).
Hoping to get out and take a brisk walk up and down the big hill in my hometown on Friday, and again on Sunday.
My weight management challenge this week is not about food, it's about inactivity.
But it will be nice to see the family!! And I will enjoy my mother's apple pie. It's a serving of fruit!! Seriously!! She puts a ton of apples in it, real apples, with hardly any added sugar. And she slices them really fast with a paring knife that is older than I am.
