Ride Description:                                                            

This ride was the day after Thanksgiving and a day off from work. I started a little late to let it warm up a little since it was in the low 30's this morning. When I got to the brewery I saw Gary, Kit and Mike there, but since I had my TT bike I thought it was best to stay with the simple solo out and back plan. Also I wanted to make sure I was in control of intensity and total TSS since I had several days of training and need to train tomorrow morning.

It sure was tempting to ride with the guys though. However, this forty-seven mile ride went by rather quick. I also tipped over the 7,000 mile mark for this year and should match last year's total mileage.
