Christmas Eve Ride

Celebrating Christmas
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6

Garmin Ride Summary:
Distance: 54.71 mi
Elevation Gain: 3,544 ft
Moving Time: 03:46:14
Avg Speed: 13.3 mph
Max Speed: 35.9 mph

Group: Kit, Peter, Neal, Matt and me
Goal: My goal was to enjoy the ride with friends

The Ride: No doubt the coldest start for me this season as we rolled out of the brewery about 8 am and I was not sure where we were heading, but the guys said about 55 miles. Much to my surprise we headed toward Salacoa Road on Hwy. 140, but we turned off on Addington Lane instead of going all the way down to Salacoa. This was a really nice road with a great climb and some fairly steep sections. By this point I was getting warmed up and all but my toes were comfortable.

We did a short store stop at Fairmont and then headed back on Slate Mine, but at some point we again veered away from the typical route back and used some other common roads. Our pace seemed fairly easy and the average total speed is low, but it appears that I still racked up a good amount of time in levels 3 and 4.  Overall I can tell I have lost a little fitness, but still feel pretty good and perhaps can rise back up quickly as I begin ramping up my next block of training.

I really enjoyed riding with this group of guys to today and now it is time for me to go to a Christmas eve service for the reason why many of us are fortunate to celebrate.
