Perfect weather going home yesterday. 72° with a slight tailwind. But now the park by the house is closed for the Christmas lights (closed 3 months out of the year which SUCKS!), so I'll have to use my alternate route nearby from now until after Thanksgiving. At that time the park is open for cars to go through to see the lights after paying the fee, so I just ride through there in the reverse direction. The money takers at the entrance have never said anything when I zip by.
Yesterday, however, instead of trying to climb/hop the gate, I just went around to the adjacent neighborhood and walked up the hill between houses to an opening in the park fence.
