December 25th 2018 - Christmas day ride. Jack Taylor

Merry Christmas/ Happy Festive season to all out there in cycling land and those beyond as well!
I really hope everyone has had a nice day and spent it in the company of family and those you hold dear.
For myself, well with little Caleb on the go since the early hours it has been anything but boring. Presents coming from everywhere for him so it took a while to get through the unwrapping process itself :)  
I did prize myself away for an hour later this afternoon to get a few miles in on the Jack Taylor. Just nice to get a bit of quiet out on the road. Heather was relaxing while she could and Caleb was engrossed in a new game.
So I took my opportunity to get out for a few relaxing miles. Dry but damp and cool with no wind. The Jack Taylor is always a nice feeling ride but it seemed to be in its element today just rolling along looking at the scenery being in no rush to get anywhere, and after the BD with sidecar, the JT  certainly felt light and nimble :)
Nice to get a Christmas ride in even if it was fairly short. It was enough to reset the mind and enjoy the rest of what is always a happy time of year in our house.

I also had confirmation of the Jack Taylors build details when one of the great guys on the Jack Taylor bicycles facebook page posted up photos of all the frame ledgers that he borrowed from Ken Taylor. So a build date of 12th February 1982 and built by Norman Taylor.
