I say tomorrow, even though it's actually today.
I won't be able to as I have MIL, FIL, x2 BIL and SIL here at my place and we're all the better for it.
I'll get out on a new bike (Xmas pressie from Mrs FITP) on Boxing day but not tomorrow.
Best get to bed now and allow the fat man down the chimney
EDIT: Bit pissed, but merry Christmas to you all
It's an Xmas present, it would be rude not to have a go
Me! I'm riding in the slop for about 20 miles then heading to the office to clean up and change then into town for beers and a meal with friends. A bit of a slump followed by a couple of beers at the local and then back home.
What can possibly go wrong? 😀
Yes, merry crimbo everyone!
I’m chief chef for 8 of us for a 4 day family Xmas so I’m allowed a quick hour spin.
We will all go to the pub at 12 for an hour too- the missus isn’t stressed over timings as it’s all on me. I’m well ahead though, I’ve even marinated the meat for the Boxing Day Indian meze!!
Already done today’s first ride with the commute home. Back out again for work at 11 for my second Xmas ride!
Yup a short raz around incorporated into a family walk!
Singlespeeds ready in the garage for a quick spin tomorrow morning. It's thick heavy clay here and the only thing that works after a few feet is a rigid singlespeed.
No ride for me on the day (today in fact) but will be out on a mission on Dartmoor the day after boxing day with a group of mates. A pub or three will be involved..
Maybe boxing day if I'm not overstuffed with Turkey ..if not next Saturday (30th).
I'm riding the frozen white waves
Away with work so might manage a bit in the gym this afternoon to pass some time :/
I’m commuting in about 10mins time
Can't decide what to do, given Mrsgoat might not be up until at least 10 going on yesterday, when she woke with some form of lurgy...
1: Head on the Wazoo in the changeable conditions, to either do either local hill reps, or a ~25-mile round trip to Beacon Hill.
2: Set the new turbo up and try the "add some waypoints on the Elite app map and we will present you with a virtual representation of it."
1 means I might get wet (plus it's still very dark out there at 0755 from cloud cover) and might get back to an upset Mrsgoat, because she got up at a decent time, 2 might wake her up early than she intended to (I didn't get any feedback on noise levels when calibrating yesterday in kitchen).
... First world problems! 😆
Just finishing cup of tea, then heading out on the singlespeed. Kids still in bed (15yr & 14yr), Told them yesterday we would do presents when I get back
Was going to but its pissing down. Legs a bit tired from Saturday and Sunday so will just go out tomorrow morning.
I'm off out in an hour or so. Off to my other half's family late morning, but she's already there, so, a bit of a free pass for a few hours. Plus I need to make some space for the large amount of food I intend to eat.
It's somehow still dark, and looks a little wet, but I've barely ridden this month due to a stupid chest infection. I'm almost better now, so I'm taking advantage.
Chucking it down yesterday and overnight, shows no sign of stopping either 🙄
After finding a pool of water inside my rear hub shell(!), I'm going to do some fettling and planning a ride to drumlanrig tomorrow..
Yep, but in NZ so my tomorrow is boxing day. Going out to camp near a beach, back next day. The weather is pretty hot here, it's gonna be awesome 🙂

Photos when you get back please.
Off out on roadbike at 10am for an hour or 2
Someone start a Christmas holiday riding pics thread when you like.
There is a slim chance I'll be out on boxing day, if not I have a ride locked in for Saturday.
Heading out in an hour or so.
Lovely day for it but it's gonna be a mudbath I can tell already.
After faffing about, trying to swap from my Gravdal studded tyes to an old pair of CX tyres, ended up doing ~1700 feet of local hill reps in Frankenbike mode (33mm front on 29er wheel, 4" JJ on 26er fat rear) after killing another innerturbe while swapping tyres!
I've killed more tubes through tyre swaps than on the road punctures this year, something like ~6 vs 2! 😆
Out at first light for a wet and windy lap of Newland and Whinlatter passes. It'd have been rude not to.
Couple of hours in the waves now back for dinner and rest of the presents.
Couple of hours on roadbike. My inbuilt speedo got it wrong. Had to wait 10mins for pub to open!
Had planned a 90 min escape last night but the missus and MIL £@#*ed me off and put an end to that. Shitty Christmas so far, brightened only by monkey jnr exuberance.
Aiming to head out tomo regardless of any shit that comes my way.
Three hours on a rigid mtb, t-shirt and summer gloves, got back just before the weather crapped out. Merry Autumnval to all!
been out and did not need gloves
Went for a ride before. Sunny but very windy on the tops. Hardly any mud though so all together a really enjoyable Christmas day ride.
20 mile boxing day (Christmas is a day early for us due to work commitments) spin on muddy single track, old railways, fire road and road.Nice mild weather up here 😉

Just a quick one locally.

Tried out my Christmas socks 🙂
3 1/2 hours in the Dreich of Aberdeenshire

An hour along Fife Coastal Path. Slow, sandy and muddy. And rain.
Worth it though
Couple of hours in Sutton Park, SS in completely the worng gear - it killed me after doing the same yesterday.
Dog walkers aplenty.
Was meant to do 20miler to meet the Mrs for a 10 mile forest ride then 15 miles home. It was wet and chuffing cold. Had to wait 10mins for OH to arrive and by the time we got going I'd got cold. Short run then back to van and I bailed out of the return. Was good to get out though.
Out for 90 minutes. Always ride on Christmas Day. I had planned an early start, but 4hrs of sleep and there was no chance. A bigger roast would have seen a longer ride 😉
Just 6 miles going to Nan's grave then back through the woods.
I've been neglecting my riding recently and it was the first time I'd been on the MTB for ages as I normally use the Hybrid so, despite only a short ride, it was brilliant.
New Years Resolution is to get out on the MTB more like I used to.
So comprehensively minging in Edinburgh to maintain my 32 year record of riding every Xmas day I did a zwift hill ride !
Hour-and-a-half at Rivington. Good fun despite the rain & mud.

Chin up Spacemonkey.
Nothing for today.
