It's a balmy day before Christmas Eve, and I'm finally getting back to the blog. The fall has been very busy with work, my son's soccer games, lots of football games and all my favorite holidays. My two favorite teams, the Carolina Tar Heels and Panthers had great seasons that really held my attention, much more than the past few years. Also in the mix was a wreck in November that totaled my car. No one was hurt, thank goodness, but the mechanics of replacing the car took even more time, and my blogging efforts have suffered.
I have been able to keep riding. I've made my goal of 200 miles in every month this year except February and have cracked 300 several times. Those rides have also produced some blog-worthy moments that I'll write about in the new year, including the first cold ride of the winter, how bikers who don't keep track of anything else track their distance to the inch, and a memorable Veterans Day ride.

Thank you for taking the time to read my little missives in this blog. I'll try to give you more interesting reading in 2016. Meanwhile, in spite of this year's yuletide heat wave, have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.
P.S. You'd think that if it's 70 degrees two days before Christmas, at least it wouldn't rain so you can get in good ride. Ah well...
