Christmas day rides

[Lilliburlero]

Anyone planning to get out tomorrow?

I`m going to take the Cx out for a very early morning trail and road ride.

I have been invited for a Christmas meal 4.5 miles from here so the least that I will do is the 9 mile round trip. I might go there by a much longer, hillier route and get washed and changed when I arrive. I'll see how I feel and how good/bad the weather is.

 

[Dave 123]

Our plan is/was to go out on the tandem first thing but Mrs Dave has a cold, so it might just be me then (on a solo bike, although a bit of solo tandem fun.....)

If I didn't do anything active all day I might just go mad!

 

[vickster]

Not this year unfortunately

 

[cyberknight]

No chance, 2 young uns .

 

[Banjo]

Short uphill ride home from work about 0700 . possibly get out boxing day morning to clear the spiders out of my head.

 

[cosmicbike]

I plan too, not done many miles this week so hope to get out for an hour before I get chained to the kitchen..

I was seriously contemplating a ride to my brother and his family who have kindly invited me for Christmas dinner. The only thing that is stopping me is the weight of presents, booze, and other odds and sods I need to take. Oh, and it is 50 miles away incorporating a 6 mile climb and a 3 mile section of Land Rover track. Then there is the weather forecast - wet and windy. Looks like a one hour car journey wins the day this time .

 

[Salad Dodger]

No. We have guests this year. We might manage a walk along the sea front tomorrow morning.

I'm doing 30 miles, extra dinner for me this year

Is that the best excuse you can come up with.

Is that the best excuse you can come up with.

I'm actually still harbouring faint hopes of doing it, given that Santa is bringing me a set of front Ortlieb panniers to match the rear ones I already have, so that's the carrying capacity sorted. The wind should be mostly in my favour as they live north of me. I'll do a weather check on it early doors, but I'm not building up my hopes.

Edit.... Not to mention the 50+ mph gusts forecast for the return on boxing day, and they WON'T be in the favourable direction. At least Scotrail is an option on boxing day.

 

[Dan Morinary]

Will be having a leisurely ride through the park with the kids. They will all have shiny new Christmas bikes. I will have spanners and allen keys out to tackle rubbing brakes etc. Yo Ho Ho!

 

[Triple3]

Boxing day ride with the little fella on his new team sky frog bike is best I will get. Ssshh dont tell him

 

[DRHysted]

9 miles home tomorrow morning, then another 9 back to work tomorrow night.
