As I sit here at home, waiting to head out for my Christmas morning run, a blanket of fog settles over the landscape. It's not exactly a winter wonderland, but hey, at least it's dry.

Perfect conditions for a quick jog to kick off the day's celebrations, right?

You know how it is - I've got to get it on Strava or it's like it never happened! But before I lace up my running shoes and brave the chilly air, I wanted to take a moment to reach out to you. Why? Because you're not just another name on my subscriber list - you're part of our local community, and that means something special to me.

First things first - thank you for being a loyal subscriber and for your continued support. It's because of people like you that I'm able to do what I love and share my passion for cycling with others.

Your engagement and enthusiasm keep me motivated, even on those days when the hills seem a little steeper and the headwinds a little stronger.

Now, let's talk about the future. Are you ready for what's coming in 2025? Because I've got to tell you, I'm practically buzzing with excitement!

There are so many thrilling projects on the horizon, and I can't wait to share them with you. But let me tell you about one that's just around the corner - the Cycle Lean Project.

What's the Cycle Lean Project, you ask?

Well, I don't want to give too much away just yet, but let's just say it's going to revolutionize the way we think about cycling and fitness. It's not just about pedalling faster or farther - it's about transforming your entire approach to health and wellness through the power of two wheels.

And here's the best part: as a valued subscriber, you're getting first dibs. That's right - access to the Cycle Lean Project goes live tomorrow for our priority list.

Have you joined the priority list yet?

If not, I'd encourage you to sign up. This is your chance to get ahead of the pack and start your 2025 off on the right foot (or should I say, the right pedal?).

But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. After all, it is Christmas Day, and if there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's the importance of living in the moment.

So here's my Christmas wish for you: enjoy today. Really savour it. Whether you're surrounded by family, catching up with friends, or simply taking some well-deserved me-time, make the most of this special day.

Take a break from the training schedules and the performance metrics. Indulge in that extra mince pie without guilt. Laugh a little louder, hug a little tighter, and create memories that will fuel your soul long after the decorations have been packed away.

That being said, I also want you to keep one eye on the future. Because tomorrow, something exciting is happening.

The Cycle Lean Project is going live, and trust me, you don't want to miss out.

So while you're enjoying your Christmas festivities, keep your phone handy. Set a reminder if you need to. When that notification pops up, you'll want to be ready to seize this opportunity.

Imagine starting the new year with a fresh approach to cycling. This could transform not just your performance, but your entire lifestyle. That's what the Cycle Lean Project is all about, and it could be the key to making 2025 your best year yet.

So, as I head out for my foggy Christmas run, I leave you with this: enjoy your day, cherish your loved ones, but don't forget to seize the opportunities that tomorrow brings. The Cycle Lean Project is waiting for you, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.

Merry Christmas, happy riding, and here's to an incredible 2025!

Catch you on Strava,

Neil
