1. Despite a super disappointing (in the bike department) December, I still managed to hit 3,162 miles for 2015, give or take a few miles. This is the most I've ridden in a year and I think next year I could easily do the same, if not more.
2. One reason why I got more miles in was the late start to winter. My October and November were great riding months for me this year. I rode 15 times in October and 16 times in November, which isn't too shabby considering that I was traveling for work those months, too.
3. I started and ended December on biking high notes, commuting to work on studded tires the first two days of the month, and riding in the snow on fat tires at Fort Snelling State Park at the end of the month, with another commute and some Christmas shopping via bike in between.

I rode to Fort Snelling again today, because it is a nice easy way to get a fat bike ride in from home. Two days ago, I was one of the first people out on the newly groomed trails to and in the park. I saw tons of deer tracks and deer. Today was sunny and many people were out, and last night there was a candlelight hike at the St. Park, so the snow was a bit different. Despite having to dodge people all along the way to the park, I only encountered a couple of people while in the park, so it was a nice nature-esque way to start off the new year.
I don't have formal resolutions. I started flossing my teeth every day on my birthday, and suspect that will continue. I suspect I'll continue to ride my bike. I hope to commute twice per week in the winter, but will abandon that plan if it is too cold. I guess I hope to be more like my niece Bryanna in 2016.
On Christmas, we noticed she wasn't around. It turns out that she went into my parents' office and decided to take a little nap right in the middle of all the loud Christmas festivities.
