this time next week it will be christmas day. i hope that you all have many bike related presents under the tree waiting for you to unwrap them. school/public holidays and nice weather means that we will generally have more people out riding, more travelling traffic on the roads and more broken glass to contend with. please stay safe over the christmas period whether it is on the bike or not. rides will be on all the normal days, except christmas day. those without kids/etc can still meet up at coode st at 6:00 for a christmas ride if you like. boxing day will have an earlybird and public holiday ride as per normal. i expect to see all the shiny new bike bits making their first appearance.
