How many of you planning to ride Christmas Day?

In the words of TOWIE well jel

Xmas day is bbq on the beach!
Boxing day Mrs Aud is working so hopefully out on bike.

As a step family, christmas is hectic and usually results in everyone having two Christmas dinners.

This year we are having Christmas dinner one at my house with my son and mum, then son gets dropped off with his dad and we head off down the motorway for Christmas dinner 2 with step sons and in laws.

We also have to fit in our traditional Christmas day dog walk, which involves putting tinsel on the dogs collar and my son handing out chocs to the other dog walkers.

Not sure we'll fit a bike ride in!

Don't usually ride over the christmas period. Too busy stuffing my face with mince pies

I might try in the narrow sunken lanes in Cornwall again , but not after Christmas lunch. The hedges had an alarming way of repeatedly coming across to meet me when I last tried three years ago.

I know it is usually crazy busy especially if you've got kids, but how many of you are going to head out? Or Boxing Day perhaps?

The family would lynch me if I disappeared out on my bike on either xmas day or boxing day, those two days are family days.

We have the grandparents coming around for lunch. Mornings are also normally hectic.

However, I have asked for a Garmin so if I get it, I might have an excuse to go out in the afternoon.

Arn`t they to big to fit in the oven ?

2 days with no riding for me, but working on the 27th so a nice ride in on empty roads.

 

[gavroche]

definitively no ride on christmas day, not enough time in daylight left. Boxing day? now, that's just another day !

 

[Lee_M]

I'll be at the inlaws in chester, so unless theres anyone from round there that can lend me an x-large bike it looks like I'll not be riding for two weeks!!

i may very well kill someone before new years eve

 

[coffeejo]

Fully intend to, assuming we're not washed away by then. One of my friends is thinking about putting her name down to work that day, so I might see if I can get her to drive up there and I'll do the 40ish miles back home. A couple of mince pies, a few more, then walk the dog and then settle in for the rest of the day on the sofa. Misanthropic bliss.

 

[MattHB]

Not sure ill get away with it!

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Christmas day: ride to my friend's, food, chat and a laugh, ride back - it's only a few miles.
Boxing day: ride to work and back

 

[mr_hippo]

Just a quick 30km ride planned

 

[mcshroom]

I won't be. No cycling on Christmas Day or Boxing day. It's a very busy time for a chorister and I'll be doing two 'midnight masses' 200 miles apart (thankfully the first one is actually at 7pm) and then a dawn mass so I doubt I'll have the energy for riding on Christmas day.

Boxing day will involve a walk though.
