Christmas, it’s that time of year when the days are short, the weather is questionable and free time is at a premium. As it often feels like riding takes a back seat come December, we’re bringing you a special cycling rewrite of the 18th-century Christmas carol, ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’. Our version provides you not with an accumulation of pointless and frankly bizarre gifts, but a dozen baubles of inspiring advice, pro rider insights and things to do to keep you motivated over Yuletide.
Yes, we’ve gone pun-crazy – or maybe outright crazy – for this one. In doing so, we prioritised usefulness over pun quality, so cut us some slack on the latter – it’s Christmas, after all! We’re not demanding that you carry out these 12 suggestions in order – technically, the 12 days of Christmas run from Christmas Day until 5 January – but rather to schedule them as you see fit. Let’s do this. Cue Slade and let’s get rocking around CW’s 12 slays of Christmas!
