I’ve managed to press in some new bearings into the bottom bracket to get 30 mins of peace and quiet from the family and a break from the rubbish TV.

Took the wheels off and put them and the frame in the back of the car ready for a ride tomorrow morning..! A road ride with healthier (I’ve had a viral infection) buddies so it’ll hurt…

Briefly looked at it whilst getting presents that were stored next to it…

Cleaned orange chain in dishwashef 😈

Went from a road ride which turned into a CX ride with some wrong tyre fun. Happy days

Agonised not being out on it. Bloody Christmas…bah humbug

I dreamt about mine, I haven’t ridden for nearly 10 weeks and most likely won’t be able to for at least another 3 or 4. Very unfit and fed up at the moment.

What have you done with the bike today?

Nothing. It’s Christmas Day which is family time. And, I’m not obsessed with bikes, I just enjoy riding them…

Rode the road bike 105 miles on lovely quiet roads out again in the morning 🙂

Deliberately ignoring the post above my previous!

Moved it from there———> to there ———>
So we could sit at the dining room table..

Walked past it maybe 15 times

Rode it round the local trail centre, most of the black route with a full loop of the red route thrown in.

Walked past them to get more beer.

If you’re biking today instead if spending time with family. It’s time for a new family.

Moved it out of the way to get the homebrew beer out.

Moved it out of the way again to put the cardboard/wrapping paper in the shed.

Had a fond look for a minute as I’m out on it tomorrow before I pop to the pub in the hope that it’ll be showing the Utd game.

Looked at it longingly through the window. Looking forward to Saturday when I go for a ride. 🙂

Wheeled my wee boy round the house on his first bike, not even thought about my own!

Tripped over the road bike getting out of bed. Gazed longingly at the full sus whilst eating lunch with the family in dining room . Out tomorrow though, gotta get a shed

Fitted my new Hope dropper clamp which was a present from my Mum. Although I ordered it and she simply reimbursed me and complained about the cost of a small piece of metal. I’m pleased with it though.

gave it a loving glance as i got logs from the shed, it will be out at hamsterley on tuesday and the hardtail will be out on Saturday

fitted new reverb for tomorrows ride.

It’s Christmas day.
Kids & family come first, always will.
Thinking an early lap of Cannock in the morning.

Washed it and fitted some new grips..

Took it and dogs for their favourite ride…….they’re not really into material things….

They really love me riding a bike with them more than anything else so thought I’d treat them before buggering off to mates for Chrissy meal .

Nowt.

But am going on the turbo tomorrow morning. I rode yesterday afternoon so didn’t want ask for a pass tomorrow morning to ride especially as I’m riding New Years eve and a few days in between.

I need to get my arse into gear ready for next summer…since jnr arrived I’ve been fat and lazy. I feel a few months of turbo misery coming up for me plus some running again.

Rode 70 miles on mine, and enjoyed the quiet roads, and the sights of wildlife, whilst thinking I was fortunate to be alive and well with no family tragedies to deal with unlike some people less fortunate.

Delivered Christmas presents to my kids. All downhill from there – but not downhill in the fun sense

Well not all downhill. There were some flat bits in between 😉

Funny that you’re posting on a bicycle forum during your ever so important “family time” 😉

Merry Christmas! ;D

Out for a family ride, wife, two sons (aged 23 and 21) and my brother. Best of all worlds, time with family and time to ride. Even better is my wife’s confidence is returning after breaking her shoulder skiing a year ago and she asked to do more.

Quick road ride early this morning.

Wished them all a merry Christmas and then carried on spending time with family and building Lego with kids with beer in hand. Great day.

Took mine for a blast around some frosty woods with ma pooch.

Fitted new DU bushes to my shock today as it was snowing a blizzard, then fitted my old Reverb to my latest build , only to find needs a bleed and some pressure. Stuck another bottle of stans in my rear tyre as its leaking some where. then the wife came home so I cooked tea and stuff………just getting over man flu so probably better Ive not ridden yet. 😀

Took the kids for a bike ride and ended up at the park. Now just getting ready for a night ridenin the snow with some mates.

Took to my bed with man flu. Was initialy pissed at training loss – now worried I won’t recover for the 4th.

Christmas Day and yesterday did a few miles up to the Ridgway and pootled around. This morning cleaned the bike and I’m off now for another 15 – 20 off road before the rain/sleet comes through. No snow here just a lot of sog.

3 miles yesterday, 4 today…
Though… It was with my last on his new geared isla bike, and it was two of my best riders of the year 🙂

DrP

Left the bike in the boot cause stiniog was cancelled 🙁
