Post xmas - escape the family grand slam

Mark, you may have told me last night but I was under the influence of various things - are you doing the Grand Slam on the 20th?

27th for me got family stuff on the 26th

The Joys of Chrristmas:

24 December - leave work early not telling family office is closing early. Ride.
25 December - morning ride
26 December - morning ride, football in pm, Critical Mass
27 December - RP training and then ride
28 December - Long ride
29 December - commute
30 December - commute
31 December - office closes early, ride
1 January - long ride
2 January - commute
3 January - long ride
4 January - ride

Where's the TT and the audax and the hill climb?

Fucking slacker, you better be hanging your head in shame until March.

I am resigning myself to not being allowed anywhere near my bike from about the 24h to the beginning of the year :(

That's two days of family stuff. Anymore you're going to 'fess up to?

If I've got the cash to waste. That many pints will end up being a hefty tab by the end of the night.

27th would be perfect as it is my birthday!

Clive, that's a bit excessive. your poor family, left at home, wondering when daddy is coming home

it's ok, BDW is there all the time when clive isn't

I would have done this but I am in Birmingham visiting the folks. Have fun all.

You need a spokecard to rival the xmas jumper GSID on the 20th. Which incidentally I also cannot make due to a wedding. :(

I'm for this if only 'cos I'm hoping Stu may be marginally less fit after his holiday (unlikely) and there's a remote possibility I might keep up with him (very unlikely). I don't care which day, but I voted 26th.

Ha! That is indeed a compliment coming from you Paul and I look forward to the boxing day grand (leisurly paced) slam.

See yo on tomorrows Ma3k East ride.

Hum, I normally stay away from the drinking. But I guess I could give it a go.

Does anyone seriously believe this post????

Which reminds me of a great churchill quote:

"I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober, and you will still be ugly."

I may do that xmas ride! Anyone else going?

Umm I might? I'm a misfit this Christmas ... but i'm also a noob so I probably don't count for you!

Everyone counts! I'm also a misfit (2 year running!), so if the weather ends up being nice, I think I may try to drag my girlfriend along on this. Let me know if you end up going momo.

i voted drunk and swng the poll. go me

Well done Chris
So that makes it currently

26th.....8
27th.....7

Momo - looks like there will be a forum xmas day ride. If you're up for it: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread13758.html

I see no rest days.
Dunno how long or hard (ooh err) your commutes are but mind you're not burnt out before April.

rest days are where it's at right now!

if I could just keep away from the bike..or the weights...or the rollers....

Don't blame me when you hit the middle of the season and wonder why you're slowing down :P

Need to escape on the 27th...

i reckon ? (htf do you spell that?) we should start central ,and finish central..........but that's just me............might be a lot easier for a lot of peeps to turn up, ride, drink then go their own way as pissed as poss :)

as there are more than 6 for both the 26th, and 27th, why not run both? I think a central meet up, then along the Thames poddle, sounds like the startings of a plan.

how about we do the triple grand slam - 26th, 27th and 28th
get VB to replace rep points with HTFU points.

15th - can't ride
16th - can't ride
17th - can't ride
18th - hospital
19th - can't ride
20th - can't ride
21st - can't ride
22nd - can't ride
23rd - can't ride
24th - can't ride
25th - can't ride
26th - can't ride
27th - can't ride
28th - can't ride
29th - can't ride
30th - can't ride

i think you get the idea

...

12th - can ride

xmas aint looking too good

how about we do the triple grand slam - 26th, 27th and 28th

Uh, this could escalate ...
