Night ride in December

Perfect night for a 25 mile ride around the Burgh. Conditions were 46 degrees and hardly any wind...very nice. I reached 1000 miles on the road bike as well. Not bad after having the bike for only 6 or 7 months, and there are two other bikes to ride. Figured I better get out one last time before the snow hits.

Vikes versus Steelers

I rode down to Heinz field to catch some of the pre-game festivities (tailgating). I was surprised to see the number of Viking fans. Lots of Favre jerseys. Unfortunately, I didn't have any purple to sport for the ride. No only that, I would have feared being riden off the road by a motor vehicle. Steelers fans bleed black and gold. Still it was cool to see all the action prior to the big game.

Light Up Night in Pittsburgh

The Surly and I took a trip downtown to check out the fireworks displays...yes, two displays. Pittsburghers don't mess around when it comes to fireworks. One display was closer to Mt. Washington, while the other was off one of the Allegheny briges. Both were very impressive fireworks; plus, the city lights in the background added to the affect.
