I forgot to turn my Garmin on when we started, which is where we ended, but I wasn't thinking and rode the first (at least) 3/4s of a mile with the GPS turned off. Too bad, as the start has lots and lots of climbing. When we regrouped, I remembered and turned it on.

Team Bigfoot and Guest got together this afternoon for a ride at Arrowhead, which is rapidly climbing up the list of favorite trails. No pics as the sky was just too gray, but imagine happy riders flying through the whoops and grinding up climbs with switchbacks and you get the idea. It was grand.

We had dinner at The Shamrock afterwards and now I'm home and very full and happy with my ride and Sparky has been walked. I'm going to work on Christmas cards while watching Sixty Minutes and the Once Upon a Time and then crawl into bed. Hope to run in the morning, although it may be raining.
