Ride 6 - The Tree

 Ride 6 - November 25, 2021; HAPPY THANKSGIVING RIDE

 Ride six took us to a nearby favorite neighborhood park and tree that we've always hiked to.  

The kiddos used to hang out there and kept it secret, so it's always fun for us to go since they entrusted us with their secret as adults.  It's always fun finding these places.  

The turkey went on the smoker at 7:45 and we had about 4 hours to kill.  I checked the temp and it was holding steady at 225, so Jen and I decided to 'kill two birds' with one stone.  See what I did there? Ha. 

It was a tandem day, although we should have rethunk that option since the trails were sandy and those 28mm conti's wouldn't have stayed upright in the soft sand.  It's OK.  We needed hiking steps too as our hike the holidays campaign started too :)  

We found the tree after a short hike and 3 miles on the tandem, drank our Starbucks (from the previous haul) and headed back after enjoying the beautiful weather. 

Coffee buzz; perfect

Weather; nippy but also perfect at about 62 degrees

Always a good ride with my stoker.
