    The mechanic’s going to get the sack again because uh the battery on Julie’s front light didn’t get charged fortunately we have a second and we’re only like uh a minute and a half from home so we will do a quick Swap and then try and start this ride

    Again we have a front light we got some lights the lights around here have been really late this year there wasn’t any and now all of a sudden there are some lot yeah quite a lot really yeah this noise yeah actually it’s gone quiet this side I better be quick be

    Quick be quick good evening wheel is at large we’re at again yeah that’ll do that was that’s go I can’t believe how warm it is it’s about 11° I mean I could actually be wearing shorts tonight I mean I’m not I’m not that stupid but I could be Mike I’ve got a wardrobe

    Malfunction my camera strap has come loose oh okay so it’s bouncing okay not Ms are bouncing it’s halfast 7 it’s busy busy still thought everybody’d be tucked up in front of the one show or something by now yes like I said earlier decorations have come late this year Well I say late

    I mean I would say at an appropriate time others might say late Michael Julie’s taking care of her um wardrobe malfunction quite nice isn’t it another Christmas penguin really is a thing yeah so I think if you were to look at our stra after this ride you might

    Assume that we are just riding around aimlessly that assumption would be correct but uh you know it could be worse could we just sat at home vegging out on the Sati Christmas lights ahead I’m not hearing very well I thought he said bikes ahead I’m thinking I don’t see any

    Bikes oh dear it is very windy out right so put that in my defense got quite excited with their lights hav they that is so windy he keeps taking my bik from under me Christmas donuts right all the lights we found so far have been quite sophisticated is Christmas supposed to be

    Sophisticated we going to head into town get the blood circulating that said I’m in quite a thin long sleeved it must be said but quite a thin base layer and my summer psychology talk it’s not Nott for psychology well we sort of are tonight aren’t we yeah perhaps I should send them an

    Email say what we like like your tops and they say yeah thanks no I think Julie wants to be an influencer for psychology yes I’m not sure many brands are interested in mid 50y old Riders we don’t really fit the bill I’m a finally tuned adult adult yeah oh okay

    Not not even aete I decided wasn’t the right one no it’s probably a bit of a stretch I’m not sure adult isn’t too much of a stretch to be honest oh you’re hard well no I mean I think we’re definitely at that point in our life now

    Where we’ve been regressing for the last 5 Years be yourself car coming around let’s go you he was in his dressing gown yeah I did yeah walking around his dressing gown and slippers yeah slippers with socks dressing gown standard wear obviously for the center of town palm trees nothing says Christmas

    Like palm trees obviously that is strong oh flashing lights light yeah when it gets windy I have a habit of uh gripping the handlebars really tight it doesn’t help doesn’t make any difference other than the fact you end up with numb hand not letting go of the handle bars too

    Indicate should be obvious where I am on the road amazing all these people in their hats and scarves puppy jackets what are they going to wear when it actually gets cold I know isn’t it amazing some people have already got their Duos on yes walking around wrapped in their dues in

    Their slippers it’s not it’s not unusual site I don’t know why that one was left off while we were doing our November rides there you go pretty isn’t it wow oh yes I love it Julie just suggested we should have brought our skates instead of our

    Bikes I don’t know I guess it’s some you never lose I’m not sure I bounce as well as I used to that’s pretty isn’t it pretty cool it’s the old Band Stand been there for many many many many years the Santa Express Waterfalls and polar bears in morning judie said we got canopies I think she meant canopies or maybe I miss heard cuz I like canopies yeah more of those canopies you’re on about there you go you can see us I see you can see us now there you go that’s

    Some of the lights around town and um obviously Bournemouth Gardens they always do a great show and the kids are having fun down there which is always good to see families out and what have you yeah we might actually go skating oh that would be nice I’d like that we’ll

    See if you’ve watched this far into the video thank you for watching us click the like button and join us for the next ride that’ll be Christmas Day when you run into the sea yeah probably will won it

    1. Nice ride Mike and Julie very well done nice Christmas light displays our lights are a bit sparce this year Northamptonshire Council are tight sooner spend it on their Christmas party.
      Very windy here and that's not down to eating Brussel sprouts.
      Have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy your dip tomorrow

    2. Hey Mike, You have encouraged me on stuff, like the most recent the Rockbros mudguard I got was because of you. So Cycology should be very interested in You and Julie… Have a wonderful Xmas you guys…

    3. yep when you get old ice skating is not fun when you fall went skating when in my 40s my leg was bruised for over a month lol 🙁 never again even tho i can ice skate dont matter how good you are it still can happen

    4. Colourful outfits for a ride full of colourful lights!
      It's shame you don't have a sponsor or two, as you appeal to lots of 'real world' riders who just enjoy riding their bikes rather than fussing over the latest titanium widget and carbon superbike. As such, products you use and so on are likely to interest a great number of riders. Saying that though, the channel is better for not being compromised by having to have sponsor slots, product placement/mentions or whatever.

      Anyway, good luck with the Festive dip tomorrow Julie, and thanks both for all the entertainment and hard work you put into these videos.
      Merry Christmas and a happy 2024!

    5. I'm sitting here in Boise at noon on Christmas Eve watching your wonderful ride of lights… and it's 32F and windy outside. And you had 51F… AT NIGHT. It got down into the teens here overnight. 😢
      Thank you for taking us along. Hey Mike, loved your comment about not bouncing. I say that all the time. At almost 61 I can't/won't do all the crazy cycling $#it now, that I used to do when I was in my teens. My Memorial Day collarbone incident just reinforced that for me.
      Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc. to you and yours, Wheelers. 🎄

    6. Mike and Julie merry Christmas! Thanks for all you do. Looking forward to seeing what Julie will be wearing for the dip tomorrow. Just finished another ride for the extended challenge. Few rain drops and very cloudy. I am going to have to do a inside ride on Christmas early am so I guess my challenge is over. Bunkie
