RedheadDane's Cycling Christmas Calender - 3rd Edition

[RedheadDane]

Yep, this is back!
Same procedure as the other years, except I'm not being quite as strict about the "corresponding dates" thing for the women's version.

Ladies first:

1​	6​	11​	16​	21​
2​	7​	12​	17​	22​
3​	8​	13​	18​	23​
4​	9​	14​	19​	24​
5​	10​	15​	20​	25​
26​

And then the men:

1​	6​	11​	16​	21​
2​	7​	12​	17​	22​
3​	8​	13​	18​	23​
4​	9​	14​	19​	24​
5​	10​	15​	20​	25​
26​				31​

You have Jonas now but don't forget about Primož. No Christmas is possible without Primož.

 

[RedheadDane]

Today, there's also a more poignant reason for my pick in the Men's edition, as that day turned out to be the last time Gino Mäder was at the front of a bike race.

 

[Miss Violet Smith]

Thank you for sharing this lovely advent calendar - I'm enjoying it so much!

 

[Izzyeviel]

I enjoyed this, thanks for doing it

 

[Wyndbrook]

Took me a few days to work out what it was!
Great fun, only problem it just demonstrated how bad my memory is.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Still waiting for the 27th.

 

[RedheadDane]

Still waiting for the 27th.

It only ran to Boxing Day/2nd Christmas Day.




Or does it?

 

[CyclistAbi]

I see. Well. I am still interested in the 27th selection. Maybe i will buy only that page.

If I had gone for the All of December approach, I might have picked Roglic's Giro winning ITT, or I might have picked Kron's Vuelta stage win, or Hayter's Romandie stage win.

Works for me. Thank you. Christmas came late this year but was totally worth it! Looking forward to the 2024 edition, hopefully a bit more green next year! Considering the climate changes.

I'd say Christmas came exactly at the right time.

I'd say Christmas came exactly at the right time.

Also surely the Giro win meant that CyclistAbi's Christmas came quite early this year.

Hard to argue with that.

As alluded to earlier, there is one last entrance in the men's version. I call it the LS Special!

See ya all next year.

Considering that you're often taking things way too literally, that's quite an odd phrase to use, unless it's meant as a threat

I'm not starting the next edition tomorrow!

"See ya all in 11ish months", that better?

No, it's just that you won't literally be seeing us (some perhaps, but definitely not all).

How do you know?

You totally must do that next year indeed, that is all 31. LS likely choked on the new year food or Champaign, seeing 31th, i personally couldn't eat for a couple of days, anticipating 27th. BR likely stole a couple, as some still missing.

Till next year i will just hang this years edition on the wall. Stucked at 27th. On top of that i learned you can't really be stucked, you can only stuck. And that next year will have 366 days in it. Strange things.

That's it! No more drinks for you!
The New Year has happened, it's 2024. I'm not gonna skip making a calendar this year...
We'll see how I'll design it.
