This wasn't the usual mass ride out to raise money, but a do your own thing and donate due to Covid.

We saw a couple go passed home yesterday. I must admit we had our gear sorted out but with the rain on Friday and being cold I chickened out and just donated instead.

Did anybody do it?

No I didn’t, annoyingly I brought a really good Santa suit just after Christmas last year in the sale but iv lost 4 1/2 stone this year so I look like Tom hanks in big when I wear it.

Although I'm not sure why I'm laughing, I've lost weight this year too so no idea if mine still fits!

It gets worse, 3 years ago I spent a fortune on a genuine triumph 2 piece set of leathers, iv never been able to fit in them as I was a bit “hopeful” with the size when I ordered them, I can now fit in them but can’t ride the triumph as the legs still crap. Couldn’t make it up.

I've been involved for 6 years. Marshalled the main Bristol one 3 times, including the massive 800 one. Planned new route and then led (twice) the Bristol to Taunton summer one and back-marked another one.

I've been a wee bit wimpey since my smash and, despite the best of intentions, I too chickened out of this one.

Several locals went out Fri / Sat / Sun solo and in small groups.

Managed to raise £6000 despite no large rides. Brilliant effort.
