[Closed] Who's out riding Xmas Day ?

me and the gf are planning on spending a couple of hours up around rivi at some point during the day, yeah.

Depends how tense it gets between my wife and my mother. Might need to take kids out to check over their new bikes....

I am......to work.

See what the mornings weather is like. Thoroughly unpleasant here at the moment!

[quote=simmy said]don't wanna risk the hungover stressed out idiots on the road.

I was going to suggest that the roads are quiet on Xmas day (hence last year I went for a unicycle ride on roads I wouldn't normally ride that on), but then I remembered I did once have an altercation with a small bloke in a car on Xmas day - actually the only time I've ever had somebody step out of a car. I was told that I didn't help that I laughed at him when I saw how little he was and wanting to square up.

GF and I are spending it on our own this year and will probably pop over to Leith Hill for a couple of hours.

Only on the road bike, but yes.
Two days you really have to train, christams and your birthday

I wish, staying with the whole family, having left my family of bikes 50 miles away. There may be blood spilled this festive period. 👿

Hopefully get out on the road bike with the GF- the joys of having Xmas by ourselves 🙂

Half hoping to get a lap of Swinley Forest bike trail tomorrow morning before my Sister's tribe surfaces. I have my bike. I live in hope.

Quick blast on the road in the morning.

I shall be riding from West London through central London and over to Sarf London to my sister in laws on xmas day

I think Maria probably will be:

Ill be riding to my Grandads grave and back, taking the 50 mile scenic route, there and back is only 20

Hopefully

Buzz - I will be out 6.15 for a blast of blue before kids wake up. If you see me on an orange 69er say hello 🙂

yep, son has new xc bike so we are tootling from ours, around Eskdale, wasdale and mitredale, then dinner at friends home.

Me & OH will be out delivering presents by bicycle tomorrow 🙂

Hope to escape for a couple of hours in the morning, borrowing my Dad's road bike as Christmas is 'away' this year.

Yep,
GF and I doing a local loop, taking some mulled wine for part way round, (it's her birthday as well..)
then home for roast goose for two...cannot wait!!!!,

Local loop with a mate and meeting the wife and the dog with a flask at the top of the hill 🙂

I'm going for a 5 mile run along the beach instead.

Can't beat it really.

Nope I'm off which is rare so spending it with me wife and kids, probably be working the next few years so it's my last chance for awhile to enjoy it.

Will be down the FOD and will be able to park in the proper car park for a change 😆

Absolutely 🙂 I'll be out on the road bike before dawn - I find it the most serene and reflective ride of the year, so have made a habit of it in recent times. Probably only be out for an hour, but I've been looking forward to it for yonks. Which given my general meh feeling towards Christmas is no bad effort.

I know what you mean MCTD, it's like walking along a tightrope.
Hope to get out for an hour in the morning for a bimble around Delamere.

Yup. Vowed to at least cycle the 20 mile 'hilly by our standards' route for a lunchtime beer in Oxford.
And 20 miles to the folks' house on Boxing Day.

Yup!

Road ride up the scenic Conwy valley in the morning on my own - a time to just appreciate how lucky I am to be healthy and live in such a beautiful place.

Mountain biking fun in the afternoon with my BF - playing around on Conwy mountain and keeping warm with some mulled wine 🙂

Sometimes it's good to not fit in with the 'norm'!

Whatever you're doing, wishing you all a happy Christmas 🙂

Yep, will be out armed with home made soup and Schnaps...

Usually go out for a local blast, but this year I'm loaded with a cold that I'm hoping to shift for a bigger ride on the 27th so think it's best to remain indoors and relax.

Out on local trails whilst wending my way to Huddersfield Crematorium with the wife - Respects paid to the dear departed before coming home and counting our blessings by entertaining the rest.

My turn to choose this year, so Roddlesworth Woods and Darwen Tower for us - with a picnic at the tower 😀

Jammy ****ers !! I had surgery yesterday afternoon for golfers elbow so won't be even looking at my bike for a couple of months . Bah humbug !

Nope - Christmas day is all about family for me, not riding!

10 mile run.

I've just been out for a night ride so I can spend Christmas at home.

Yep - short 2 hour blast on the roadie before breakfast, then we'll crack on with present opening when my sister and her fiancé arrive. Quietest day of the year, it's positively a pleasure to be out on the road 🙂

Defo. Dalby 1st thing then pop across to Swaledale for an 18 miler from Reeth, inc Fremington, Langthwaite, The Moon, Gunnerside & so on...

Not.

Hour on the new roadie before people get round ours I reckon.

Not on Christmas day but was planning to ride on Boxing Day whilst the boss had a lie in but the front brake on the Rune has died. The master cylinder in the lever is not returning and as it's a Shimano XT jobbie no chance of striping it down.

Have just ordered a replacement from CRC in the Hope that it'll land on Saturday.

Those who are riding, you lucky so and so's.

Yep,going to try to get out on the road in the morning if the weather is a little nicer. I'm going to go for a 3 hour bimble, no heart rate monitors, no big hills, so real effort...just going to try to enjoy it for a change

🙂

hopefully......wether looks pish though! 🙁

Boxing day for me while the hubby goes to his mother's for another meal. I'm autistic so socialising one day a year and being happy is quite enough thank you!
Going out round Billinge woods and Witton park 🙂
