December 2017 Happy Christmas from Cycling World
Very few months compare to December when it comes to finding time to ride your bike . The runup to Christmas often passes in a blur of shopping , socialising and work deadlines . Outside , the festive lights glow dimly through the drizzle , and you rush home contemplating another weekend driving around looking for that perfect Christmas tree !
However , if you can escape for a pedal , it ’ s such a blessed relief , you wonder how you lived without it . A week or two off the bike does that to you ! Even a short ride of under an hour is just enough to enjoy the feeling of cycling again . All that stuff that ’ s been churning around in your head begins to settle , you get a clear look at things and sometimes a solution or two will pop up .
At the very least , you will feel fitter and fresher when you return , energised for the next few jobs on the list . So let the buzz from riding , power you along until your next cycling top-up .
Cycling World hope you all enjoy the break this Christmas , and have time to put your feet up with your favourite mag . We thank you all for coming along for the ride this year , and hope you are all looking forward to 2018 , as much as we are !
