I’ll probably be on the turbo in the morning too. I’m not doing the Festive 500, I’m just burning off mince pies and booze. Merry Christmas to you and the family, good luck with the New Year’s resolution.
Sounds like an interesting goal, but be careful about setting yourself up for failure - you are bound to get ill or something. Good luck with it though. I always get together with some friends and make new years resolutions. I have failed my last few years worth of cycling ones though, so I probably won't make any cycling ones this year. Happy Christmas!
Just so long as this pre-New Year's resolution doesn't minimize the 🧇-action; never change. And when you genuinely need a rest, there will be no points deducted for a day off.
nice one Dave, good luck with that challenge - a few guys I know set a 1km/day challenge - doesn't sound much but makes sure you get it done and just gets you into the habit of going out on the bike or run - they have been going for years now!! tbh it would do my head in if I couldn't make a session though so these kind of goals are not for me!! happy Xmas mate, have a good one
Thanks mate. Hope you have a good Xmas too. I’m sure some days I’ll hate it, but I think 30 mins is a pretty chill one…especially if it’s just on the turbo…I’m saying that now 😂
@@DaveNoakes Didn't plan it - actually did longer than the year - just kept going - nearly gave up on a particularly wet day in June, but a friend just said get out - I just did two or three miles to keep the run going . Ended in February 2023 when there was a storm (Otto, I think) when it wasn't too safe to ride!
Happy Christmas Dave. I went cycling in Belgium this April and since coming back to Cornwall I've really slackened off as the roads are so bad. Been doing more mtb. Getting on Zwift now for a better 2025. Happy new year to you and the family 👍
I dodnt really ride my bike much this year, a State 4130 fixed gear. I still love it but i bought a second bike. Another State, but this time a Klunker. Its such a fun bike that i can just chill and cruise around. Brought the fun back into biking.
I want to start doing this. I have a 30 min cycle commute to work, 5 days a week. After that I get lazy. Need to do more cycling for fun. Put the effort into cramming my mtb into the back of the car and seeing some new scenery.
Good luck with your challenge :) My challenge for next year is to ride 6k miles - managed it this year but I'm getting old and I don't have any inclination to increase that number (I'll be honest was pretty burnt out by December :P). Anyway hope you all have a good Christmas & New Year!
I used to do a lot more. Just do what you can when you can. Your obligations will take up time. Doing something is better than nothing. I'm sure your fans/ followers will be with you
Ive done the 365 riding thing before, its fantastic. I got so fit doing that

Merry Christmas to you and the family, good luck with the New Year’s resolution.
Same here…burn of the years worth of greggs 😂 I’m not going to do the festive 500 either.
Hope you and the family have a lovely Christmas.

Very true, I’m not going to be doing a crazy training blocks so hopefully with some pacing and built stamina I should be good.

I managed that in 2022, an outdoor ride every day😆Rain, sleet, snow...and that was just the summer
Oh the joys of summer 😂 respect for doing that though. How did you find it? Was it planned?

Going to join you on the quest Dave - from jan 1st! 😜
Whoop!

Merry Christmas Dave 🎅

I’m in the same boat, need to forget everyone else and just do what I want to do
🙏🏽👌🏼
Inspiration for many
Thank you 🙏🏽

Missing my commute is one of my reasons for doing this. I think I do less now that I have no commute. I’m with you on exploring new scenery.
Nope no new years resolution, hope you and your nearest and dearest have a good Christmas, if you do some exercise too that's good.
Good luck with your challenge :) My challenge for next year is to ride 6k miles - managed it this year but I'm getting old and I don't have any inclination to increase that number (I'll be honest was pretty burnt out by December :P). Anyway hope you all have a good Christmas & New Year!
Thank you. Good luck with your challenge too. Merry Christmas to you!
Go Dave!
Running is what people do when their bikes broken... but there's nothing wrong with that 😉
Merry Christmas mate.
😂 merry Christmas to you too
😂 merry Christmas to you too
That is a very good idea
Merry Christmas Dave!!!! May 2025 bring you all the joy and happiness you deserve!! 🤗🇨🇦
Thanks Sherry, merry Christmas to you 🤗
Just tick the box for been active, don’t set a distance, everyday should be just that, otherwise come July you might be tired of the daily.
Good point, that’s why I’ve put a limit of 30 mins on. I think that’s pretty obtainable when I’m feeling tired.
Een hele fijne feestdagen jij en familie en gezond 2025
Thank you. Same to you 🙏🏽
I ride every day for mental health. We all hope it works someday :D
So true!

Merry Christmas! But dude, manage to control your arms in the new year. They are so much out of control they can injure you heavily! ;-)
call that a run !!!! 😀😀😀 have a good xmas
It’s a run for a non runner 😂
