December Challenge 1
It was just as cloudy, cold, windy, and miserable as it looks
Strong wind from the south was generally a crosswind, so would not be all that bad riding west/east
Winds predicted up to 40mph and they were getting a good start
Nevertheless, Raleigh heads across town to the park to see what might ever appear
Santa training a new crew of flamingoes?
Christmas Candles and Lamp Post too
Icicle Lights
Main Gate at the Park
Wreaths along IL Route 1
AKA Dixie Highway/Chicago Road
Santa’s local Tiny House
See the silver vehicle back there?
Every morning she is there, texting, or ? from her car
Been going on for years — no idea why — tempted to go find out
Yorkshire Hog and Holstein Cow
Snowman and vintage Allis Chalmers tractor as a bonus 🙂
Reindeer behind the truck
No idea how the flag got in there 😉
Rich-Illinois
Very much enjoy all the entries you all have provided -- great to see the everyday cycling venues. Being in eastern Illinois, scenery certainly isn't our forte, but oh well, the roads are normally quiet. Look forward to more and more entries from all of you, I do have a few over on BL -- in Bill's Day Rides, and one journal.

You got some good ones Rich — even more candles within the wreath photo. I am so so so glad the the last flag is a blur 🤨.
I continue to be unable to ride around in the icy conditions that may or may not ease up in another day or three. I look forward to finding a few challenge items. 🙄
I once did indoor cycling a lot — espeicially spin cycling — burned out I guess. Unfortunately I cannot stay on a stationary bike for very long so that option for me simply is not. Good for you to keep on keeping on indoor or outdoor.
I just couldn’t help myself — I had to blur out the first word on the flag to make it more appropriate..
I gotta say, between the flamingos and inflatable farm animals, you Illini have some pretty wacky Christmas decorations.
