Finished my 2016 bike commuting with a bang, logging 46 miles on the first day of winter and shortest day of the year. Rode my usual route except that I joined some friends on a Christmas light ride on the way home, adding a very enjoyable 14 miles to my usual 32. Stopped for a couple of beers and a sandwich toward the end of the ride before heading home. Now I'm on leave until January 3.
