I will be doing a 2hr ride to the outlaws as this will help with the 4000 calories I'm about to consume not including drink and the odd packet of fully salted nuts to help with cramps.

Definitely down the firs for an hour or two with the gf then to our favourite hostelry for some lunchtime serious ale.

I have my family duties
I don't suppose the little one will go out, but hoping the bigger one will want to have a little ride.
I must give my thanks to mieszko and sc-xc, who sent me parts for free which are featured in this photo.

Malvern Hills with friends.
The word on the street is that St Ann's Well cafe will be open, so there will be a cake stop.Posted 1 year ago # -
on my old stomping ground back at parents for a couple hours before they get up - likely alone as most of my old riding buddys have kids now !

I always ride early Christmas morning. The roads are EMPTY so no hassle.
Plus Boxing day. It gives me a good appetite for Christmas Dinner

Are you Barraclough or McKie?
Probably more Mr Barraclough I would say. I do work with a few Mr McKie's though, & worse!

I will be up at 6am and out for 6.15 for an hour and halfs ride round Cranham and then meet the parents on the beacon top at 8ish with a flask of coffee. LUSH!

Probably 10ish miles home from wherever Mrs Balanced drops me and the boy in the New Forest. Xmas dinner should be ready not too long after we get back.

Little trb will be trading up from a balance bike to his first pedal bike, so hopefully we'll be riding, not a long one for me but an epic for him!

Have fun and good luck, trb, but don't get over-ambitious or too upset if he doesn't take to it straight away. Has he ridden anything with pedals on?
Mini-aracer (the one in the middle of the tandem) was whizzing around on a balance bike and thrilled to get a bike with pedals last year (he had already been riding a trike as well), but got upset when he struggled to balance on it. Ended up buying stabilisers for it when I'd reckoned he wouldn't need them, as otherwise he refused to ride it.

We had Christmas day on Boxing day a couple of years ago to try and get all the family together, went surfing with the wife which was fantastic on the real christmas day. On the way home we saw a house that was for sale so we knocked on the door only to find we had interupted the family christmas dinner. Had completely forgoten it was Christmas day.
