Cycling on Christmas Day ?

[Mrs M]

Not on Christmas Day as will be too busy
Mr M and big brother golfing on Boxing Day so I will please myself and weather permitting will be off on an epic ride, flask and sandwiches in tow 😄

 

[Jenkins]

Weather permitting I will be out for the Festive 50k mid morning before heading round to mum's for dinner, and possibly the same on Boxing Day as well.

As for New Year's Day (again weather permitting) - I aim to repeat last year's metric 100 if i can get going in time

 

[slowmotion]

I've learned not to go out in the evening. By then, the ethanol has well and truly fubared my motor coordination.

New Years Day is a tradition for us weather permitting. Start as we mean to go on.

If the kids don’t come to the farm with me then I might get a cheeky commute ride to feed my critters at school

 

[cyberknight]

There's no reason at all why you can't go out for an hour or so for a bit of quiet cycling me time.

your joking right ?
X mas means kids cant sleep the night before because their excited which means i get no sleep then we have the clan descend on us for the day so its play the happy host .
By the time everyone's gone im running on caffeine and sugar rush till i zonk out

Try being in a city like Lagos where it's important to visit extended family and be seen making generous donations in church; Sundays and big festivals can be the worst days for local traffic.

Fixed it.


My two are Teens, so won't be up !

 

[fossyant]

You don't have to ride alone, you can always call at mine and see if I am allowed to play out....

That will both of you with sore ears !

Always been a family day for me and never cycled on xmas day. I worked for a 24/7 service as a Biomedical Scientist in an NHS hospital laboratory for over 30 years so when I was not working xmas day there was all the more reason to be at home with my family.

Edit: I may have cycle commuted at some time in the past on xmas day.

 

[Gravity Aided]

I have a tendency to cycle on both Christmas and New Years since nieces and nephews have grown up, nice to have a bit of exercise and not be underfoot in the kitchen. No big roasted fowl to lift from the oven for basting, etc. so I'm not really required for a couple of ham steaks. New Years is always the day to start your mileage for the year . Even if it is -10 C, like it is here, this morning.

Whoa! You my friend need to get a life. There is more to living than cycling you know?

That will both of you with sore ears !

No. Mrs Skol likes Nickyboy, she thinks he is cultured and a good influence on me....

No joke.
Even with kids I managed to get out for an hour or so.
It's not hard.

 

[mangid]

Yep, I get up at the normal time (4:40 and normally get 40 under the belt before starting prep for lunch and anybody else is up). Absolutely gloriously quiet.

 

[vickster]

You get up at 4.40?!! Willingly?!!
