A Photo A Day: December 2012

Dec. 30, 2012

A long ride with The Clarks.
Since Garmin Training Center is the worst software ever, I can not export just my year numbers, but I added them and I rode over 200 hours last year, or over 17 days!

We went shooting Sam's "Christmas" .22 rifle. 50 rounds flew by ; )

After shooting we hiked to the top of Purgatory Mountain on the new trail. It's is the highest point in the county and named after all the moonshine still fires that lit the mountain at night "back in the day."

Dec. 19, 2012

Sam was home sick again, but I escaped and pre-rode the winter series mountain bike race course with Chip. Thanks Chip! I spend the morning doing bike maintenance, including replacing the rear tire with the Maxxis tire I won in the Southern Classic Series. I was very pleased with the tire!

More crèche: The first is on the side of a barn in the middle of nowhere, Sam and I passed on the way to her first basketball game this year, and I went back. The second is the shadow on the side of the church just over Davidson County line on Hwy 49 South.
