22nd Christmas Day Ride- December 25th 2024

I had thought I had done a blog entry or a YouTube video of riding on Christmas Day. The joys of TBI caused memory issues. So this is kind of making up for not doing it till now. 


Since came back to Ontario at the end of November 2007 have done a ride of some kind on Christmas Day. It has become sort of my Christmas Day tradition to do. And have done it in not too bad winter conditions to some pretty challenging ones. Sort of a Appetite Seminar for Christmas Day.

22 Years Of Christmas Day Rides- GPS track


December 2024 would be the 22nd ride on Christmas Day and was a chilly one. Not minus 25 where approaching eye lashes freezing together cold or the face hurting from cold type feeling. Though with it having snowed trails where not an option as it takes certain type of snow to be rideable without being packed down.


This would be a West Side wander of barely plowed side streets, sidewalks, and paths. Of course admit the route was planned to come by the Starbuck's that is open on Christmas Day. 



Christmas Day mid ride treat while reading my collection of Mishun H Sugworth cartoons or sketches. 


After treat was finished resumed the ride and headed back towards Collins Bay And a loop through the Lawrence Park neighborhood  to see how the trail entrance looked there. After looking and seeing it would be a few more days before packed down. headed towards north parking lot at Lemoines Point. . And rode along the Bath "Protected" bike route.


Headed down from the North Lemoines parking lot to the river to my usual picnic table by the river. And to look out over the frozen shore of the river. And of course a wee bit of Antiguan Rum for the near end of ride on a winter day moment.


From there it was home so could thaw out and clean up post Christmas Day Ride number 22. And of course Christmas Dinner feast.
