In an effort to fight Black Friday consumerism and to burn off a few Thanksgiving calories, the above group headed to the greenway in Greensboro for a bike ride. They ended up biking about 18 miles through Bur-Mil Park, Old Battleground, and Country Park. The weather was very agreeable as it was over sixty degrees and sunny. Two of the four are members of Fish on Wheels practicing on the off season so they'll be ready to tackle the 2016 Tour de Tanglewood, next September. The four reported having a successful, uneventful ride. Everyone finished strong and there were neither flat tires, nor bumps in the road.
Hopefully, the above quartet will, indeed, make this an annual event and the two Fish on Wheels riders (on left) can convince the other two riders to participate in the Tour de Tanglewood- and dress with a little FOW pink and orange flair. If you didn't get to exercise outside yesterday, there are plenty of options today. For one, mountain bike riders are riding in the Burn the Turkey Event (more, here) in Greensboro. It is anticipated that temperatures may reach the seventies.
If old man winter doesn't roll in soon, trees may just start budding and we'll head right into spring.
Happy Saturday!
That looks like a beautiful place to ride. Lois and I rode about 5 1/2 miles through our neighborhood this morning, and that's far enough for me! Your weather sounds great!

That sounds like a better idea.
