What are you doing on Christmas?

ok, so I use the training plans and never really look ahead, but I was wondering what others have lined up for Christmas. And are you planning on doing it or piking out for the day?
My plan has me lined up to do Half Monty Ramp test! Merry Christmas to me. That should earn an extra slice or two of pudding. :slight_smile:

Eating.

In common with much of Europe, I suspect, I’ll be celebrating with family on December 24th, so Christmas Day itself will likely be a recovery ride :grinning:

I’m finishing a plan tomorrow (Sunday 19th) so I’ll probably wait for the pre-Tour plans to appear before signing up to another schedule.

according to my plan i’m in a recovery week, so only Elements of Style, apparently.

Well that won’t do. May treat myself to a ProRide.

Doing nothing too much, tv, desert, family and if there is time a small spin on the bike. The bike will always be in the garage but Christmas with the fam happens once a year

@ChrisMTB I have Tempo High Cadence 4 x 3 scheduled. I will probably do it if there is time. I am only 3 weeks away from the end of my plan so trying to stay dialed. If I had Half Monty I would probably move it a day back or forward if there were lots of other things going on that day.

Which is your Christmas favorite?

Blender followed by a 1:15 brick followed by some yoga followed by food. Merry Xmas legs! :joy:

Eating dessert in a desert seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Ah in Northern Europe the big day with family is the 25th. Either way have a great time :beers:

Will be helping out getting setup to have family over. My better half is very patient all year round so sometimes ya just have to rest up. The other days will have few long steady spins with friends nothing to hectic because come January it will be full on chewing the stem :muscle:t2::blush:

What will I be doing on Christmas Day? Celebrating my first day out of isolation having tested covid positive a few days ago!

Grrrrrrrrr. I’m totally fine too. Cabin fever is what’s killing me!

I have 14 more weeks before IM 70.3 Texas. My coach gave me two days off and said I can do anything I want.
Turns out, I want to go for a MTN. Bike ride! Haven’t done that in a long while. I’m sure my cardio will withstand the trails… not too sure about my skill level anymore. It’s been quite a while. Hopefully, I don’t break anything! Then, all I can eat from whatever is being served!

I’m doing a climbing SUFestive 500 ….

Starting with Chasing Legends + all the OLs + my fav SUF climber vids + the AWW climbers (Rabbit Mountain, Superflag & Boswell Strength Endurance) and ending with To Get To The Other Side which fittingly rounds off the closing few minutes of my 500k with (and I quote) “the greatest couple minutes of (Mike Cotty) acting in the history of the greatest mythical nation in the whole wide world” (credits: Grunter Von Coutts).

I’m visiting relatives. If there’s a break in the weather, I’ll take a walk.
