I got out for a little "round the block". Mainly just main roads. Rode from Port Perry, Peterborough, Madoc, Belleville, Cobourg, Port Hope then up to CR9 south of Rice Lake and worked my way home. Did about 350 km.

My friend and his brother rode their sleds from Port Perry to Rhinos in Bewdly on Sunday. I went for a ride.

Back from visiting my Daughter in Calgary. Went for a very little year end ride. Only did 86 km because visibility got pretty bad.
Ended up with 61,086 km in 2022.

Looks like I'm stuck at 61,000 km for 2022. Haven't been able to ride for the last week. This week too sketchy and Friday gone for a week to spend time with Family in Calgary (flying.)
