Just ride - final ride of 2013

Ride Description:                                                            

I used my road bike to finish out the year and due to training yesterday I was content to back off of the intensity. Plus I may do a New Year Day group ride tomorrow so I hope to recover enough tonight for at least an easy going group pace - I hope.

I am grateful at the end of this year to think all of my cycling friends and myself were blessed by the Lord to have safe miles.

It is my hope and prayer that all of my cycling friends here or in different areas of the world all have many safe pleasant miles in 2014. Happy New Year!!
