I plan on eating a lot of food today, so I woke up early at my parent’s house to get a ride in. Now that my road bike is retired for the season, I have been taking every opportunity to use my mountain bike on gravel and dirt roads that I have avoided all summer.
In the East
To the West
Today we climbed up into the woods until my legs were aching. We explored a bit and then stopped to watch the sunrise. Thank you God for painting beautiful colors in the sky! Then it was time to speed downhill. I have never gone so fast on a mountain bike on rough gravel road. It was awesomely terrifying. I tried to refrain from using the brakes at all, but my cautious side kicked in before a couple of the sharp turns.
Now I am back at my parent’s house feeling all fired up. I am ready to cook the turkey and eat it all!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Up here where we have igloos and police dressed in red, we celebrated Thanksgiving a month ago. Every year it catches me off guard when you celebrate the harvest. I’m impressed that you took the time to get a ride in. Have a great day with your family 🙂

We go non-traditional for Christmas, for couple years we have made philly-cheese steaks wraps or lasagna, I guess we do eventually get our fill of turkey! I don’t know what we are going to do yet this Christmas…
