What/ where would people says a good place to go at Christmas got about 12 days so plenty of time.

Not my house. It'll be full of my family and they are annoying.

Ha... same. What dates? I'll be in Finland between 21st of December and 3rd of January.

I'm going to Iceland

























... I really fancy a prawn ring and a 'bake at home' Greggs pasty.

We went to Mallorca last year.

You can hire MTB or road bikes.

You should get sent to Coventry for that one

We had a family holiday (no bikes) in Morocco a few Christmas's ago, I recommend it

To be fair, Ben nails it.

Rovaniemi, great riding and you get to see Santa at his home

I'm flying in and out of Rovamiemi (22-29 Dec) but will be spending most of the time in Levi

Mainly a Santa and skiing holiday, hopefully with some snow activities like snowmobiling. I'd like a go on a fatbike but I don't know if I'd have time as it's a family holiday

Going to be very expensive but I'm really looking forward to it

Sounds like our house.

Want to swap?

We're in Rovaniemi on the 27th and 28th then heading to Oulu and then Helsinki.

I don't know if I'll be cycling either, but like you, I'd like to try it.

I had a look earlier, flights to Malaga are currently bargainous.

I'm actually considering spending a few weeks in Malaga every year. But for further info on that see the "Richard G bitches about the weather" thread.

I go to Malaga area for a week every Spring. I've often thought it would be a marvellous place for a bikepacking holiday in our winter.

There's still a risk of snow on the hills but temperatures are obviously a lot higher than at home.

Cheap flights aplenty - even once you factor in taking a bike and kit.

Just don't book with Ryanair
