The Big Nasty

Before the temperature dropped 55 degrees today, we went one a last pedal this morning. I snapped a photo for my pedal pal as she couldn’t ride today. That means I missed a chance to chatter and instead chased Chuck’s tail for 14.5 windy miles. The big nasty is what we call this innocent looking hill that is brutally steep for the first 25 meters. I was glad to tackle the “big nasty” as we call it and couldn’t help but think of the many reasons we are all looking forward to a new year. A new job for pedal pal, a wedding to plan for my girl, visitors planning to come see us and a chance to slow down a bit too. Roll on 2026… we are ready!
