We hope you’ve had a fantastic Christmas! Whether you’ve just been out for a post-turkey run round the block, or managed to squeeze some epic rides in between the mince pie binges, there’s been a lot of riding going on. Here’s some of the #mycyclingchristmas pics you’ve sent in.
There was plenty of water involved in Christmas riding, not surprisingly. Jane Rees took this pic of a Worcestershire ford, although we’re not sure whether they attempted the crossing…

…and the roads that Kelly Teagle was riding are pretty much fully submerged, it seems

Wind, too. You can’t photograph wind quite as easily. But we can all imaging what the exposed Gospel Pass, the highest paved road in Wales, was like in the stormy weather we’ve been having.
It wasn’t all grim though. Ian Dagnall’s ride around Romney Marsh looked spectacular…
… and Steven Hendrikx was soaking up the rays in this unseasonably warm spell too.
They’ve managed to get some proper cold weather in Norway, though that didn’t stop Ivar Groneng from knocking out 90km while it was -7°C out.

Jason Burns warmed himself up by tackling the fearsome Carlton Bank up to the top of the North York Moors

Christmas wildlife was in evidence. Stef Marazzi spotted some unusual fauna on his ride around the lanes of the New Forest:
Some of the road.cc team made it out. Reviewer Jez Ash was checking out the climbs of Andalucía – tough gig.

And Dave was taking advantage of a full moon, clear skies and deserted Suffolk lanes to do a bit of stealthy no-lights night riding.

Last shout goes to Jenny Ondioline who snapped this festive pair rocking the London hire bikes. That’s the spirit!
