Christmas and day 3

This is "Big Wheel" and is usually my single speed 29er.  Since I'm in cyclocross season right now, I have it in 4 speed gear mode so that I keep spinning instead of grinding out the gear.  Besides my legs are pretty weak for single speed.  This is bike 3 of 4 that's been used.

I have this open space area in my back yard.  The trailhead is just 1/4 mile from my house so I usually ride on the dirt.  It is steep here so I get plenty strong (for me) riding out here.

Pictures are so much better during the golden hour

Ride: 5.4 mi (8.7 km)
Total: 64.5 mi (104 km, 396 km left)

Today is Christmas day so it was a busy day with family activities.  The kids were super excited about opening gifts and then we were getting them ready to see Grandpa for lunch.  My oldest got her first bike and we spent the afternoon riding in the park.  She loves it.  When we got home, I had 35 minutes to sunset so I went for my usual mountain bike loop.  I love having this so close to me.
