Who is interested in a Santa ride over X-mas ?
Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:07
Hi,
I am planning to do a special Santa ride over the X-mas period.
This is not a ride in costume (though the idea might be fun too) but a ride to reproduce the stravart from the gifted Anthony Hoyte:
This kind of ride is not the usual country lane strolling we usually do. It's usually a bit slower as you have to pay extra attention to the direction not to mess up the result and also more urban. So might definitely not be to everyone's taste. Please also note that this ride is 42 miles long https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35904553, so with the commute to the starting point and the coming back it will possibly reach 60 miles.
If some of you are tempted to try, please let me know below and also try to indicate which dates would be OK with you between the 24th and 31st of Dec (25th obviously not considered as I guess most will be celebrating). Boxing might be a perfect day, but weather might decide otherwise, so if you're free during the week after, please indicate it so I know what date might gather a few participants
Hoping there will be lots of elves joining me
Le père Noël
Please note that due to medical reasons I use a handle-bar extender, a bit like TT-bars. I use this to relief the pain of NHS diagnosed trapped nerves in my wrists and elbow. I do NOT use these to ride like a TT racer, to draft behind others or similar performance seeking stunts.
Every bike ride, be it commute, ride alone or in group, entails its share of risks (bad road surface, motorised traffic, natural elements, our or other riders' mistakes or inattentions...). This is common knowledge and we all ride at our own risk. Nevertheless if my use of this extender this makes you feel uncomfortable, please do not join my ride.
