Weather permitting, I'm thinking of going out for a ride (40-50 miles, 14-15 mph avg) on Boxing Day morning, let me know if you're interested in coming along.

Gary i don't want to hi-jack your post, but i'm planning a shorter 25 mile run-out on Boxing day morn, for the less energetic...shall we go with two rides ???

I for one can do Andy's shorter one .The longer one apart from being outside of my comfort zone will get me hung !

Andy, didn't know you had a ride planned so am quite happy to nip mine in the bud. Post your ride details up on this thread if you like. I'll lead a ride on the Sunday (the 27th December) if no-one has already put their name down for it.

Here it is then,

Depart Costa 10ish for a 25 miler around the lanes....through IronActon,Chucklepurch,Siston home via the cycle track
No GPS, "FOLLOW THE LEADER" same pace as today so we can chat about all the lovely pressy's Santa left us.
Oh i forgot there is one hill (Wapley)


"MERRY CHRISTMAS"

See you on boxing day Andy, weather and tyre pressures permitting (ie; I not so full of food the tyres burst)

Anyone ever been "ill' on a ride?!

Every time I see a hill! I feel sick! We did have one chap get halfway up Wentworth Forest and throw up and had to turn back.But that wasn't really ill just over doing it!

Never been ill on a ride but on a 600km Audax, not a toilet in sight it was a case of going over the nearest wall, second problem no bog roll, solution, ride the last 200km with only one sock!

Didn't his bum get frightfully sun-burnt ?  

Gosh that was a shock.When I saw you had posted in this thread I thought you were coming out with us .Almost gave me a relapse.

Hoping to join you all tomorrow... feeling a bit pished at the mo and going to try to persuade the mrs for a pass...

Ahh the generational difference, get to my age and the Mrs is pushing you out the door muttering "feck off on your bike and leave me in peace"!
