Weekly roundup December 18 - January 7

The first weekly roundup of the year (and first since before Christmas). I think I’ll write a 2023 retrospective as a separate post. For now, I’ll say it was not always the best year, but the baby grew up to have many more opinions while also being fun to talk with.

2023 Bike Ride 37

A nice enough December day for a ride. We nearly went for a Christmas day ride yesterday, but walked instead. Today, it was up to 6 degrees by the end and I was so warm with snow pants. However, it was great to get out biking one more time in 2023.

Total trip distance: 9.38 km

Moving time: 0h47m
