Made what turned out to be the final ride of 2017 on December 28, 2017. It was planned to have the normal New Years Eve and New Years Day rides but the amazing 100 year cold snap (beating lows and highs set in 1908) made that impossible this year. So this ended up being the ending year ride. Rode first to Hollywood Cemetery for the history of the place and also this great view of the James River from the road.
Then I rode to Church Hill and got this photo from the lookout there. It was a very good ride with no problems. Added a few pieces of gear and that made this ride better than the last one. Temperature was just a hair higher than on the last ride with a high of like 36. I was warm though did have of course to watch the speed. Distance again was not much with a hair over 14 miles being done. Have been on some amazing rides this year. That said...looking forward to Spring. Looking also forward to the end of this national cold snap.
