Clayton is our home base park. Depending on the time of year, we ride there several times a week. Yes, there are horses on the trails, and we have never had a problem with any of their owners. We give them the right of way, say hello and off we go. Just like at Allaire. All of the horse people have been really nice, even when we have come flying down the trail and surpised them.
Besides, the horses do not know about the home baked cookies that I am bringing, so they will probably not show up.

No worries, this is a non-confrontational ride. So they'll leave everyone alone. Officials will be there with muzzle loaders but you won't be able to see them as they'll be working undercover. Just smile and say "good day".

We will be there...dust or no dust!!!!
Well Cyclopath , I have not started my holiday baking yet. I can't start too early or I will just eat them all! So I just made oatmeal chocolate chip. Nothing too fancy. Had I known earlier that Ben was coming, I would have mixed in some M&M's.
For my Christmas cookies, I do all of the roll out and cut and decorate cookies....you know, real Christmas cookies.....oh and this year I am going to make the peanut butter ones with the kiss in them. Not a traditional Christmas cookie, but the kids like those.
The cookie train will start next week.....

We really enjoyed the group today and hope to ride with you all again soon. I am looking a bit wind burned, but probably not as much as Ben....the cookie eating champ.

It took me 35 minutes to ride to Clayton from my house. The headwind lengthened my return trip to 50 minutes. In between, there was 1:45 of good times.
Ruth, making a list and checking it twice. Chris "Poor Iggy" insists that he has been nice all year.
Ruth "rocknrollgirl" does her best Biknben impression:
Mare "Mare45" with Anne following close behind:
My weapon of choice. It worked out surprisingly well in the conditions:

A cross bike is an excellent choice in any condition.

Now, I'm absolutely horrible with names. These discussion group rides always make me look even more dumb. I can't remember peoples' names or screen names.
I'm really glad I took a picture of the sign in sheet. That's the only way I could remember people's name. This is Patrick "davos".
This is Chris "Chris29r", the only guy I know who makes 29" wheels look small.
Just in case Ruth isn't talking enough, she uses her hands too.
Ruth was hoping to see me crash. We got an acceptable picture after five or six attempts. I was pushing my luck on the CX bike with snow-covered logs.

Thanks for the pictures Ben. Fun Stuff. I will show my students today what their Ratty Old Biology Teacher does for fun on the weekends.
The only time I am not talking, is when I am scarfing down cookies!!!!

If you stick your butt out a bit, you'll get over those obstacles a lot easier.
