Great Thanksgiving Day ride.

It was a nice cool crisp day, and it was off to explore a new area trail network. What a blast and I think I earned that turkey dinner after my two-hour ride. This will most likely be my last ride until Christmas Day, because today marks my last day off from work until the Christmas season ends.

Good for you Zipp. It was 40F and raining all day here. BlazingPedals just doesn't ride in that stuff.

I bent the derailer a bit and it jammed my chain, carefully re-aligned the derailer and was fine the rest of the ride. What old car were you working on ?

Sounds like you had a great day. I miss that crisp cool air in New England this time of the year. Have fun, and stay safe.
