Ho Ho Ho

The day started like this:


But ended like this!

It's the holiday season and what better way to help spread holiday cheer than to go caroling ..... by bike of course!



Meredith, Dave, Katherine, Eric, Christine, and I started out tonight armed with pages of lyrics and bikes lit up like, ...well, like Christmas trees! We'd ride along Portland's bike boulevards and when we saw a home that showed good Christmas spirit we'd stop, run up and knock on the door, and break into song. Some of us were more musical than others. ;-) But we all had fun!

We came across a young mother out on a bike with two kids in tow. She joined us for a short portion of our ride. A baby that wasn't enjoying our singing nearly as much as we were caused her to cut the evening short. As it ended up, I found out later that she is one of the 1047 members of our little social bike club. I checked out her attendance statistics and note that this was her first event with us! Hopefully she found it enjoyable enough that she'll join us on another ride soon.

I've got to ride 11 miles before Sunday at noon. I'm thinking that I might just be able to do that. ;-)
