I've done a 600k audax on Boxing Day and it was positively mild. I guess it depends where you are and how lucky you get with the weather.

Yeah. It was actually fine for the most part. Waiting for the sun to rise on the first loop from Camberley > Cotswolds was fine. It was the second loop from Camberley > Salisbury that was absolutely savage. Just wide open and a freezing cold wind. The Salisbury Plain was just brutal.
@monkdagola ya don’t say.

Bloody S Hemisphere. Ruining the Festive Flu and SAD for everyone.

The way I did this way back when, was to create two loops and use my home as a base. I set off early, did a 300km loop, spent an hour at home and did another 200km loop. The section waiting for the sun to come up on the second loop was truly, truly savage. I've ridden plenty overnight but not at Xmas and I really cannot emphasis how absolutely freezing cold it was.
