After looking at google I can say.... 'maybe'

As I'm a gentleman, I'm happy to say 'after you'

Anyone planning to get out tomorrow?

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

Didn`t get out as early as I`d intended, due to me having a lie in .

Managed to grind out a windy 50 km`er (31 miles in English money) to keep my run of consecutive Sunday 50+ km rides going, I think its 30 or more

When visibility is limited by spindrift I just know it's too windy for cycling.
On the brighter side, it's a warm wind, 15C.

Out at 04.50 this morning very nice 10 degrees, 50.2 mile done back indoors at 07.55.
That'll be cream and custard with the christmas pud' now then.

The last time i went on a Christmas Day ride was in 1966, when i got a new bike, with stabilisers

Have you removed them yet?

 

[tyred]

I always do go for a Christmas day 20 or 30 miles but have had to postpone this year due to wind.

Too many sprouts?

29 miles, including a pretty fast drop down Creskeld Lane. I reported it in Your Ride Today. Maybe next year I will learn how to do a link.
A few showers, lots of rainbows. Some gasping for breath on the way up.

Have you removed them yet?

I did, but after my two hip breaks they're back on!!

The only wild mushroom I *dare* pick is the giant puffball, simply because you *can't* mistake it for anything else. Best peeled, sliced thickly and pan-fried with black pepper and insane amounts of garlic.

Didn't go out on the bike in the end. Knees still on strike and it's blowing a hooly. Need to be in a fit state to do the commute on Tuesday...

Too much wind and rain here so no cycling, more turkey and cake for me

I kept looking at the weather yesterday, so i never got out. Today xmas day i said to myself it doesnt matter whats the weather doing !, im going.
So at 9am i got a 2 hour ride in before i was nearly sectioned to the looney house (nearby), and do you know i really enjoyed it even though i was slightly wet, i only saw 3 other cyclists and a handfull of cars.
On Friday 23rd i donned my father xmas outfit on & got plenty of waves & pips from most people and went for a brew in the cafe. On the way back i called in at my grandchildrens house & my son had warned them that father xmas was on his way and he took a video that has everyone laughing , my youngest grandsons face was a treat.
SO i hope to see you all on the road tomoz, I WILL GIVE YOU THE HORN!!!!!!!! if i bump in to you on the road.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
