I can't be arsed to drag myself off the sofa today.
The weather is dry but the roads are going to be very grotty.

Traditional Boxing Day for me......football at West Ham then home for more turkey!

 

[BigonaBianchi]

I was temtped to join a couple of riders heading out at 8am out from Arundel for a quick 50 miler but it was never going to be for me....just seen a picture of one of the guys hips after he hit black ice on bury hill...not a pretty picture and looks bloody painfull....so I made the right choice it seems for once.

My excuse list:

Man flu
Exhausted
Have to be at the hospital
It's cold
I have a bkool TT so why do i need to risk black ice
Cold air triggers asthma
Im to old fro this any more
It's boxing day
It's important to rest once in a blue moon you know
Still stuffed from yesterday
I've forgotten how to ride a bike
I need to eat the turkey left overs
I'd only eat to much cake on the ride anyway
etc etc ..

Hubs is at dialysis so I will cycle the enormous 8.2 miles to go to meet him, unless it tips it down.
@BigonaBianchi that is an excellent excuse list with lots to chose from. I will make a note not to show the OH

Relatives descending on us today for dinner and tea, testing tidying up presents etc.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I went out

Day 2 at the in-laws is underway. Still recovering from day 1, and second huge meal is in the oven, gallons of alcohol are being stocked around the table. My 'miserable bastard' ratings would go through the roof if I announced I was going out on the bike now.

Ooohh, Christmas with the outlaws, I feel your pain. Mine think that I am a scumbucket extrordinaire so I would probably just go out on the bike as I have nothing to lose.

No ride for me, I'm working tonight so I've not been up long. Hoping to get out Sunday. I have a week off from January 6th so going to make up for the lack of cycling over Christmas then.

Well went a little power tool mad on visiting B&Q. They had an offer on BOSCH power tools so came away with a cordless drill/screwdriver, a smaller cordless screwdriver and a set of bits. All half price, ahem. My previous cordless screwdriver packed in some months ago, so replacing it with N+1. Been put to good use building this two storey stables (Miss Fossy has grand ideas).
