Planning on doing it, but really depends on the weather. Don't mind the cold, but if it is snowy or wet and I can't get out, it makes it hard to do.

Signed up, so here goes. Between work, family, and out-of-town guests, it should be something. About double my normal ride volume, too.

I'm going to try for it, but with how the calendar falls it could be tough since I'll likely be in the office 3 days that week.. Also weather is a huge factor here in NJ

I always say I am going to do this, but the end of the year is just so bonkers at work that I never find the time. Or the weather just sucks. Or I'm traveling.
Or all of the above. Maybe this is the year....

In. Heading down to Florida so it's always easy to get the mileage.

Yeah, family plans always jack up my cycling plans. But that's a good thing.

I'm going to make a real effort to do it this year.

If you do it, be sure to get the $50 Festive 500 t-shirt.

https://www.rapha.cc/us/en_US/shop/f...roduct/FFT01XX

"Featuring a colourful print inspired by festive stamps and in a regular fit, the t-shirt will look just as good at the Christmas dinner table as it will delivering presents on the bike to your loved ones."

I will give rapha this, they finally stoped designing the ugly jersey that apparently no one buys and they discount.

yes, that tshirt is ridiculously overpriced but its a nice design. Same with the hat, socks, ec

There should be a bonus conversion for each degree below 50. 30 degrees should equal double the mileage of 50 degrees.
