    41.3 - 4 mi. to work, 10*F. Minor traffic delay, I got away late so not unexpected.
    50.1 - 4.7 mi. home, 21*F. A bit more snow today, enough to be a white Christmas and make the roads slick.
    Tank is down a bit, 44.6.

    Well, it is that time of year. I wish you and your families the warmest Merry Christmas, and may your new year be better than this past year.

    Nice video , Gord ! A lot of miles. When I was able to ride during the week (after work ) I averaged 2500-3000 miles a year from 2009-2013.

    This year ? Maybe 1000.

    Only half day of work today but more driving than usual. Felt really cold today, got spoiled by all the warm weather. Temps. 13-16*F but wind chill around 0*F all day.
    46.1 - 4 mi. to work, 54.8 - 4.7 home. Had lots of running around this afternoon. Took wife for lunch, picked up her mom after, took her to drug store, then back to her home. Stopped at our drug store and grocery store on the way home. Avg. for 7 trips was 45 - 18.7 mi. Should be it till Sunday.

    Way to go Gord!! That's awesome.
    Kind of funny, you rode your bike almost as many miles as I put on my car this year with way more elevation changes and probably a faster avg.speed.
    Edwin, a 1000 miles is still really impressive, to us avg. folks anyway.
