It's Over for the Year...

Late in the evening of Thursday, November 17th, it started to rain. By Friday night the rain had turned to snow. Earlier in the week I had taken each of the bikes out for one last ride. I stopped by the local gas station for a fill of no-ethanol premium and a shot of Sta-bil before pulling them into the garage for the last time.

I had to do a lot of rearranging to get everything to fit...

I hope to have a shed or another garage by next winter. There are too many things sitting around outside.

It was kind of an off year for riding. No long trips, not even a multi day in-state trip. My riding buddy, John, moved up to the area from St. Paul this summer, so I spent a lot of time with that. The addition of a car cut down on some riding too. Nancy can't ride on the bike, so we put quite a few miles on the car this summer.

I've got a couple of ideas for some rides for next year. Maybe this winter I'll try and come up with a route and a list of things to see...
