Happy new year y'all! So what's everyone gonna do for their first new year ride? I'll be up at 8! Possibly around the pentlands if i can find the map, or maybe a long ride down the coast. Et tu?

Hmmm, forecasts says: rain... rain... rain...
Off to slide down a mountain next weekend, so 1st ride might be weekend after that. Might just say sod it and get wet later today, but not at 8am

Hopefully a little trundle round local stuff tomorrow (actually 'this' I guess) morning to blow a few cobwebs off.
Nothing in any way strenuous, but there are a couple of rumoured local 'built' spots I want to find.

In bed at 10 ish last night up at 5 this morn with the 1 yr old. Off road riding with local club. Cafe and a steady 50/60 would be nice. Burn off some Xmas crap I've been eating

It's dry, clear and 5 degrees. As I've not got any excuse not to I'll get out for a trundle round the local woods in about an hour (i.e. once it's actually light). Try and start off on the right foot as it were...

An easy ride around my local loop although it is so muddy that nothing is particularly easy at the moment. It should be nice and peaceful.

+1 - though I'll be on my uni, so probably not the same trails as you (I don't think I'm even up to Freeminers, and possibly not even Verderers)

Beautiful out there today. Bit muddy, but superb.

well my girlfriend was up half the night poorly, so never quite managed to get up for 8! heading soon though, yeah
last year i rode everyday for at least the first couple of weeks so it'd be nice to do something like that again, but for longer

Will be going out for a quick spin after roast beef + yorkshire dinner

Managed to get out for an hours ride this morning. Was up until 2.30 this morning trying to fix a leaking toilet so was a bit sluggish on the uphill bits. Good to get the first ride of the year done.

12 mile loop across the South Downs at 7am this morning. The idea was to ride into the first sunrise of the year, but the mist thwarted our plans.
Had a good ride though - very slippery, in a fun way, and nobody else out, apart from a few dog walkers.Lovely!

Mrs Magnet and I have just taken our 10 month twins out for the first time on their new weerides. Awesome start to the year.

Was at llandegla for 9 to ride the new b-line and have to say, they've done a great job on it, it's fast, found myself absorbing the jumps to avoid getting too lofted - still overcooked one and bailed to avoid hitting the trees
the climbs were good too - makes it a much better place to go IMO, shame it was pissing down and blowing a gale

Fab 4 hour muddy ride in Epping forest - a complete hoot. Happy 2012.

i managed a 40k road spin this morning after 4.5hrs sleep and a selection of chocolate biscuits, got home just before it started tipping it down.

3 hours in the Pentlands this morning. Great start to 2012

Just got back from filthy, cold, wet, muddy, misty c.15 mile South Downs loop. Effin grotty out there...but glad i did it.

Gonna get out for a group ride tomorrow. The masses haven't decided a location yet but a couple of laps of Ashton Court followed by a first look at the new stuff in Leigh Woods is favourite.

Just another quick urban blast for me - 1 down, 365 to go
Lots of folks out though - starting the New Year right!

Went out with the local club and got murdered as only the "bigger boys" came out to play.

A very wet n muddy bimble round whinlatter, me and GF hid under a tree to avoid the hail stones.....priceless.
Happy new year!

Coed did mbr then a route up to Gomez and back in to centre, much fun but very wet

An easy ride along national cycle route 75 for me this afternoon.
First time out for about a month so I felt quite chuffed that I had managed to get the motivation to go out as it has been very low due to the crap weather and darkness at this time of year

Dragged myself round Cannock Chase this afternoon. Wetter than an otter's pocket. Was like riding through overcooked porridge with added grit. Took a long hot bath and a large chugging whisky to revive me.

Hopefully will be pootling round the Purbecks with a mate of mine tomorrow......got ready for a ride twice today and it pissed it down both times. I dont have a problem if it starts raining whilst I'm out but wont go out if its already raining.

I've got two rides in already this year. The first started at 11pm last night and was a couple of hours xc on local trails, watching the fireworks over the city as we headed out and then back home at 1am. This afternoon I went out to Wharncliffe on the dh bike for a couple of hours of playing around.
A bit damp but both really good fun.
