It has been a tradition for my "extended family" to ride both the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas, the last few years it has fallen by the wayside for various reasons.  I decided that I would go out solo for the traditional ride.  Miss the company on the rides, but solo is nice as well.  Had a good ride, as you will see in the photos, the morning started out frosty at the house.  Warmed up nicely through the day though.  Covered about 75 miles again.  Chose a lot of roads that were dead ends, but that's all part of the ride.  Taking the time to revisit areas and see what has changed.  The wildlife were much more cooperative on this ride.  I did see more deer that I didn't get photos of.  The hawk was much closer until I reached for the phone to take a photo, then it went to a more distant tree.  Sorry, a fair amount of photos on this post.
