On 1/1/18 it was 19°F and the ride lasted about 8 miles before cold fingertips resulted in stopping the ride. This year it was ~50°F,
a much more common temp for our area and the at least 40 yr old New Years Day ride went off with two tandems, two recumbents
and about 20 DF bikes from the pancake place to the doughnut shop and back. Overall about 30 miles for me, and a good start for the
year. Rainy and overcast today however.
