Warning - shameless charity raising plug.

A work colleague came into my office an hour or so ago, spotted my bike and said "I'll give £50 to charity if you cycle to work as Santa"

Not being one to duck out of this kind of challenge, I accepted, and promptly set up a virgin money giving webpage

If you'd like to be charitable, please click the link.

I've not been cycling much in the past 4 months due to other commitments and doing some running (!! don't worry, I've given up that ridiculous activity now), so the 10 mile ride into work is a little challenging. It'll be even more so with the drag of a santa outfit.

For those who may see me enroute, I cycle from Hucknall to Mansfield, up the A60 mostly (strava link - http://www.strava.com/activities/223642721

  • Well, it's been done.
    Through the wind, rain, snow, sleet. I battled to work (OK, it's only 10 miles, so not too much of a battle) dressed in a Santa outfit.

    I got a few waves, a few beeps, and arrived soaked!

    Still time to donate if you are feeling charitable....

    Excellent - niceone ...

    although I'm a bit disappointed that you haven't put christmas lights on your bike ...

    I did a few weeks of riding to work with christmas lights on the rack and top tube - accompanied by a santa hat too :) Didn't bother with the rest of the outfit although I do normally wear a red jacket.... :)
