Thanksgiving morning. Sunny and cold. People everywhere but no other bikers. Felt really good. I'm very thankful that I can still ride.

To Gold Ray dam. Met David and gang in Ashland and rode back to Jacksonville with them. Went on with Paul to Scenic, Tolo, and across to the dam. Back via Blackwell to Seven Oaks although I wouldn't recommend this way again.

And up Griffin Creek. My back felt much better but I didn't bring enough food and ran out of energy about 10 miles from home.
