Getting in the Christmas Spirit: Ride Expeditions and the Santa Cruise

On a frosty winter morning in December, there’s nothing better than dressing in a Santa outfit and going dirtbiking. Ride Expeditions joined in the fun, with our man Julian donning the red suit along with 40 other members of the Bristol TRF.

After tea and bacon butties, the motley crew toured the streets of Keynsham, near Bristol, before taking to the lanes south of Bath.

Lunch was curry and chips at the Wellow Stables where the group gave a cheque to the Riding Centre for the Disabled – a pretty special charity. They even got a horse named after them!

After that it was more lanes and larking about before returning home through the centre of Bath – much to the delight and confusion of the tourists! Good work chaps
