Christmas festivities this year consisted in a large part of “cycle tours ” with Beautiful Daughter. She’d worked out that her newly extended range on a bike meant she could go and find new places to visit, and so your correspondent was called upon to find routes to playgrounds in local villages.
Thank goodness for the traffic free road network in rural Germany.
There was also snow, some of which was used to make a snowman, all of 10″ or 25cm tall, but of course priority went to throwing snow at Papa…

Wow shes growing up! Sounds like fun. Do you have decent cycle gloves? We get cold hands on the bikes. Alan sent for some but were no good, so went back! Cycling is reduced in very cold weather. Sometimes we walk instead!

I gave up on cycling gloves too. Now I use assembly gloves designed for repairing things outside: they’re the only gloves solid and warm enough to survive my winter cycling.
Also, any gloves with “cycling” in front are automatically twice as expensive…
