Merry Christmas, Everybody! There’s no snow on the ground (yet), but it’s beginning to look like the season:
We did the CAT Annual Holiday Lights Ride this past Saturday. What a great time! We did a slightly different route this year, passing through some different neighborhoods (and also the Historic District) because it was also Luminaria Night, and everyone had their luminaria out — we didn’t do any this year, but our neighborhood was pretty lit up.
(We’d also heard that the crazy super-decorated house in the back of our neighborhood was not lit up this year, and in fact had been damaged in a fire, so we skipped our usual highlight street. What a bummer! I sure hope it wasn’t because of their decorations, but I have my suspicions — these guys put the Griswolds to shame.)
Anyway, we had 22 riders, probably a record, and did about 8 miles. Here are some photos, of our stop at the town Christmas Tree:
Yesterday was a hike along the Monocacy to Iliick’s Mill, and today is probably a road ride, after some maintenance — I haven’t been giving my road bike the love it needs for months.
