Christmas Vacation week rides
Anybody else have reasonable weather and free time for rides this week?
I started the week with 213 miles to get to my goal of 4800 miles for the year. Yesterday, I did 31 miles solo, mostly sunny and cool (mid-50's) with some clouds out on the far east side of Tucson, at the edge of the Catalina and Rincon Mountains. Two Coyotes, 2 Cooper's Hawks, a lot of Phainopeplas and a pond at a park had a Great Blue Heron and some ducks, mostly Mallards and Wigeon.
Today I rode with a club, and ended up with 52 miles southeast of Tucson, mostly desert. Weather was much like yesterday. Warm enough for shorts, and I started both rides with arm warmers under my windbreaker, but a few miles in, tucked them away because I was too warm. 3 roadrunners, a Red-tailed Hawk and a probable Prairie Falcon, too.
So I'm down to about 129 miles before January - and the weather outlook is getting better and better.
Anyone else?
