This Week's Update [11/27/11] - Nice Thanksgiving

Hi All,

We had a nice Thanksgiving weekend and I was able to enjoy 4 days off from work.  Mom cooked a great Thanksgiving dinner and we caught up on a number of projects around the house.

We had unseasonably nice weather Friday - Sunday, so we were also able to get the last of the outside chores done before winter and Steve and I were able to ride 3 days on the canal path.  Today it was warm enough that we didn't wear our jackets for most of the ride.  We did get caught in a light rain the last couple of miles so we stopped under one of the canal bridges and put on our jackets.  Steve and I had quite a laugh as this is the first time all season we've biked in the rain.

It was an unexpected treat to be able to make the 1,700 milestone on the canal path Saturday.  We had waited until a bit late in the afternoon to go out so when we got home it was nearly dusk.  The team photographer (GJ - my mom) got a good shot with the sunset in the background.  We had 60 miles for the week (a wonderful 48 miles outside!), 115th ride on the canal path today and 1,722 miles year to date.

Take care,

Zelma
