First and last...

...days.
Last day of 2012 did not include bike; only tired bike legs :).
A short hike and some evening skating was all they could handle. Made it through the ball falling to our own midnight, not bad; but not as good as my neighbors ....

The first day of 2013 did include both a ride and tired bike legs. Craig and I met Cindy and Erik. Good on them from only some hours earlier boarded a flight in Italy with their bikes now full of snow from the ride to meet us. Cindy did her best but some flying bug got the best of her and she made the call to turn back. Now three of ventured out to Cochrane the traditional way. Little bit of tummy flue like feeling but such an amazing day out and soon back to work. Survived to coffe stop but a little sad to see our regular stop closed. Though safeway Starbucks wasnt too bad. After stop onwards north though the amazing valley up to big hill spring..... From there not sure what roads but some nice gravel back roads and it was all about making it home. We did. Very dark, we had one red blinky, need to be better prepared. Nice to come home to a nice and warm house. Thanks my Nest! You know how i like it.

Welcome 2013; looks forward to many more great days!

Happy riding!

  2. Is your nest device capable of predicting the duration, and therefore return home of a Stappler ride? If so, maybe let me know what it says before we head out next time ; )
