Anyone cycling on Christmas day?

[Brandane]

There are one or two threads regarding food and drink on Christmas day, but I was wondering if anyone is planning to get on their bike on Christmas day to counteract the indulgence? Not just a blast round the block on something Santa dropped off, but a good few miles of a ride.

I might chuck a bike into the back of the car since I am going to my brothers place near Loch Lomond. Could even drag a nephew or two along for a ride since there are some nice routes around there. However they are teenagers so might be too engrossed in all things electronic .

I might well do a quick 20 mile local loop in the late morning.

If I stay indoors too long I go a bit mad and irritable.....

I'm due to finish work at 2300hrs on Christmas eve, so its quite likely I'll still be riding home when the clock strikes midnight.

No will be to busy cooking and serving up christmas dinner

I like to ride on Christmas day and on New Years Day, weather permitting. I won't be going out if it's howling it down with rain and blowing a hooley though.
Christmas Dinner for us is cheese and pickle butties for lunch and maybe bangers and mash for tea. Never been a fan of turkey and there is only the 2 of us.

Depends on the weather tbh....roads are always dead quiet so excellent for a run

Cycling on Christmas Day is more dangerous than any other day of the year


"Darling, rather then sit here talking to your Mother, I am off out for a couple of hours....."

Any married man will know that even a helmet and full body armour will not prevent the consequent injuries

That all depends on who you are married to.

I'm planning on a quick 20 miler first thing, the same as last year & then go & eat my own body weight in turkey!!

 

[gavroche]

My bike will be 80 miles away from me, so rather difficult. To be fair, if the weather stays as it is, cant see me doing much cycling by end of year.

 

[roadrash]

all depends who your married to............it sounds like hes married to mrs roadrash

 

[Smokin Joe]

I often do, subject to the weather. Mrs SJ is pleased to get me out from under her feet for an hour or so as my constant trips to the teapot disrupt her culinary preparations.

 

[annedonnelly]

Depends on the weather. Last year I did a few miles on a lovely frosty morning. Fingers crossed this year will be the same.

Careful Saluki, you'll have them all queueing up.

I've got this year off from the kitchen, so will it be a cycle or enjoy my Christmas present to myself, Bombay Sapphire + Fever Tree Tonic.
Hmm, now let me ponder that one.

I like to get a New Years Day cycle in. Start the year as I mean to go on.
