Last night our family joined in with ~ 200 other cycle nuts to ride in the annual Tour de Lights Christmas parade put on by the Knoxville Bike program office . Our 53x11 jackets were a big hit, and as you can see on Joe's arm, the reflective strips are quite visible and bright. We rode a 5-6 mile route through a couple of inter-city neighborhoods w/a full scale police escort to stop traffic at the intersections. It was a great way to start the celebration of our Christmas holiday, and not coincidently our 19th wedding anniversary. Yea, I'm lucky too that I have a spouse who is a really good sport and participates in our cycle adventures. The weather last night was pretty temperate by Montana standards, but cold and damp enough that we appreciated the pre and post ride hot chocolate and a dry pair of wool socks. Here is wishing y'all a Merry Christmas and a safe holiday to all those traveling to visit friends and family.
