I've just driven to MK.
70 miles, seen a few out for a festive ride.
Lovely day for it, sunshine, no wind. 7°C

A mere 9km in a leisurely 30 mins .. I only saw 1 car. Very quiet today - even for round here.

Having been flooded - and invaded by mice (I think they thought my house was a kind of Noah's Ark) - it was good to get some fresh air and turn my legs over a bit.

10km on a borrowed MTB with suspension. It was like riding a marshmallow but the sunshine was fantastic.

I had hoped to get out but it’s bitterly cold up here even in the sun. Reports of ice on some of the roads. I will still cosy indoors.

I did toy with going out on my bike but I have a non-cyclist pal here so it would have been a bit selfish of me. We went for a stroll around the park together instead.

Did 16 miles on the B2B cycle path. Roads busier than expected. Few dozey parents on the path who were obviously recovering from having a few too many Sherries after last night's carol service.

Not christmas day sadly.
I plan a 10/15 for Sunday.
My knackered back means I have not been on the bike since Oct 20th but I really think it is nearly there.

Happy Christmas everyone.

My 11 year old surprised us by asking if we could ride our bikes rather than go for a quick walk. Sadly there had been alcohol I wasn’t really dressed for cycling and didn't fancy checking tyres on 3 bikes so we compromised, I checked her bike and she had a fantastic ride, doing rather more than the mile or so that her dad and I did on foot to the pub and back. Lots of lovely people saying how nice it was to see a child out on a bike on Christmas Day. I owe her a ride out in the New Year now 😀

Bike ride or spend the day with my daughter and grandaughter, who I don't see enough of?

Pass me another mince pie, there are 364 other days of the year I can ride on.

Perfect day today, shame we’re on holiday and the bikes are 200 miles away. Saw quite a few out today and felt quite envious.

 

[I like Skol]

The day is not over yet, watch this space......

13 mile round trip this morning to Starbucks in Kingston for coffee with friend. The Wahoo reckoned it was 2deg roads were quiet at 9, much busier at 10.30

70 miles, seen a few out for a festive ride.

Nice one I managed 51 miles & thought I was doing well, maybe in 19 years I'll be allowed to do a 70 mile ride, weather permitting. It wasn't a bad day round here, a touch of frost early doors, so stayed on main roads & was very pleasant. Highlight of my ride was seeing a dad taking his young daughter out for a ride on her new bike (Chirstmas present?)

Out for a couple of hours this morning, but only saw 6 other cyclists - 2 in full lycra & 4 in more relaxed clothing - plus 3 joggers and countless dog walkers. The rest of the local population seemed to be driving somewhere important as the roads were almost as busy as a normal work day.
