Got an early start before the big winds arrived. Ended the year with a 43 mile ride - 38 degrees and a little wind. Very nice.

It's now howling out side (gusts must be approaching 40mph), and we just had a short but showy snow squall. That marks our first snow of the year. No accumulation, thank God, and I expect the wind will dry things out in about an hour.

Surpassed my mileage goal for the year, as I logged about ~11,300 outdoors in 2008.

No new bikes in 2008, either!!
