Christmas Day. I did not think I would be able to ride today due to the forecasted heavy rain. But, we got a gift (as Cindy says) of no rain and a very decent day for a bike ride.
But let’s go back a bit to Christmas Eve. Early in the day we had family time via Zoom with many of Susan’s family members from across the country. We so enjoyed time with those we seldom get to see, and this year that means everyone! Later we, as immediate family, returned to Sarah’s for gift opening. Sarah & family and Jenny & family gave each of us a cycling jacket that glows in the night. We had to try it out last evening on a neighborhood walk.
First Susan took a ‘selfie’ of us. We look more like we are being robbed or accosted than going for a pleasant walk 🤨
Susan had stuffed our stockings with bright, glowing leg “sleeves” that we also tried out on our walk. Susan had read somewhere, as she is wont to do, that motorists notice moving legs with something bright on them — so, we now own some bright things for our pedaling legs ;’-).
Our jackets look white with any light that shines on them. Mine actually blue. Susan’s is green. An additional plus for these jackets is that they are made from recycled plastic bottles.
Here I am on Christmas morning wearing my Christmas gifts for a bike ride ;’-).
Another photo for the day of the house that is very understated that I like so much (the same one that had the ghosts for Halloween — photo # 26 on Halloween).
What cool jackets and leg sleeves!
