It was a cloudy day but FOS were ready to ride on Dec. 19. | |
| |
|
The Dec. 19 ride to Barefoot Island Grill in Orange Beach found Carl, Tom and Chris hungry for lunch. | |
| |
|
Hungry bikers wait for lunch to be served. | |
| |
|
Don, Sherry, Morrie and Mary are catching up on all the news. | |
| |
|
Warren and JoAnn talk to Sue and Dan about their winter travel plans. | |
| |
|
Jim is getting us ready to ride into Gulf Shores for ice cream in Dec. 21. We had temperatures in the 70’s and not a snow shovel in sight! | |
| |
|
Warren, Parker and Jim discuss the route to follow today. | |
| |
|
Edyth and Joann are ready to ride. | |
| |
|
Carl and Beth stop for a picture near the eagles nest. | |
| |
|
Just a short break and we’re ready to roll. | |
| |
|
Friday night campfire Dec. 22 was a perfect time to renew friendships and enjoy a soup and dessert potluck. | |
| |
|
Edyth and Parker are dressed in holiday colors. | |
| |
|
JoAnn is waiting for Warren to sit by the fire. (Sorry about the focus) | |
| |
|
Sue and Dan have the right idea as they move closer to the campfire. | |
| |
|
Don and Sherry are always smiling. Do you suppose they are smiling because they convinced all these “crazy” people to ride bicycles? | |
| |
|
Karen and Jim did a fantastic job organizing the activities for the early arriving FOS during the month of December. | |
| |
|
Mary and Morrie relax and enjoy the campfire. | |
| |
|
Donna and Dave are ready for dessert! | |
| |
|
Chris and Tom visit with friends while enjoying the warmth of the campfire. | |
| |
|
A small group gathered for a picnic ride on Dec.23. The campfire the evening before evidentially kept some FOS sleeping in! | |
| |
|
Jim stops at Lefties hole, but she is nowhere to be seen. | |
| |
|
We stopped for a picnic lunch at the park in Gulf Shores. | |
| |
|
Parker talks to Edyth before biking to the Butterfly House. | |
| |
|
Check out the warm riding gear! Christmas week 2017 proved to be colder than normal. | |
| |
|
Jim details the chilly ride and indicates we’ll stop for HOT beverages. | |
| |
|
The group pedaled to Southern Grind for coffee and sweet treats. | |
| |
|
Larry is sporting his new T-shirt complements of Santa. | |
| |
|
Tom seems to think it’s cold outside. He looks warm enough to ride in these 40 degree temperatures. | |
| |
|
Stopping at the post office is nearly as important as gettin in those extra miles on the bike. | |
| |
|
Everyone waits patiently at the post office...perhaps some packages from Santa have arrived. | |
| |
|
Even though the temperature was in the 40s, FOS stop for a picnic lunch. | |
| |
|
Lunch time always brings smiles! | |
| |
|
No ride is complete without a stop to say hello to Lefty! | |
| |
|
New Years Eve was cold and windy. FOS had a warm evening inside the activity center. A potluck dinner followed by games helped us welcome the new year. |
