Given how busy December is for most folks, and that Xmas is on a Friday this year, I'd like to propose a combination Ride and Xmas lunch / gift exchange for
Saturday, Dec 26th... and if the weather sucks, we just do the lunch/exchange part! The proposal:
10:00AM rollout from the Bicycles Plus parking lot at MacArthur and BeltLine -- ride at a social pace, doing an easy 20 miles down MacArthur and back up, then out Belt Line / Freeport near the airport, then back. Probable finish at noon. Map is

Bring a wrapped gift, whatever you like, serious or funny -- extra cycling gear, unused crankset, box of jellybeans, whatever... even something you got for Xmas that you want to "pay forward"...
If the weather doesn't work for riding, we can still meet up at Hard Eight at noon, instead.
Please RSVP below, to determine if we've got enough interest to do this!
