Happy New Year

Happy New Year from San Angelo cyclers. May 2018 be downhill and with the wind.

Copenhagen (and Godt Nytar)

Copenhagen, Denmark 

June 2016

Palace Hotel where we stayed on our pre-cruise days.

Nyhaven or New Harbor is a popular tourist attraction: colorful buildings line the canal and it still has small-vessel traffic.

 Lots of bicycle traffic, also.

 

  A lot of the buildings are now restaurants, but one of them was the home of the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, best remembered for his fairy tales.

 City Hall.

 Tivoli is a famous amusement park. Disney was inspired by Tivoli and used some of its features in constructing his Disneyland. Another European structure, Castle Neuschwanstein of Bavaria inspired his famous Sleeping Beauty Castle. 

Christine loves museums and this one was close to our hotel. She spent a delightful morning looking at all the artifacts, and I had a "delightful" lunch at their café.  

Cold Ride

Christmas on the Concho Ride thru the Lights

 
Ride Through the Lights

San Angelo Bicycle Association

December 3, 2017

Although sponsored by the San Angelo Bicycle Association, the Christmas Ride Through the Lights is open to all riders.

It has been estimated that 80 individuals turned out for the ride. A great number of parents brought their children to ride in a great, safe social setting.

Tex joined the group.

As well as a special young reindeer joined the ride.

The Christmas lights are along the Concho River. The general theme is the 12 days of Christmas interspersed with generic Christmas decorations. All are a sight to see. 

On the twelfth day of Christmas

my true love sent to me:

I am not sure what happened to my Partridge in a Pear Tree, so I will pretend this is it. 

2 Turtle Doves

3 French Hens

4 Calling Birds

5 Golden Rings 

6 Geese a Laying

7 Swans a Swimming

8 Maids a Milking

9 Ladies Dancing

10 Lords a Leaping

11 Pipers Piping

12 Drummers Drumming

Remaining pictures were interspersed with the Twelve Days of Christmas. Note to area residents--the tour is well worth it in the comfort of your car and after the sun goes down.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
