I decided to repeat last year's "Christmas Day Candy Ride" and also to do two rides - 25th & 26th. I bought some sweets - about 200 Baht - and print about 600 New Year cards - about business card size.

Christmas Day - 25.51 kms. handlebar bag filled with sweets and cards, stopping at many bus stops to give cards & sweets out; got to 'Happiland', BangKapi and was mobbed by about 6 'ladies'. Tearing myself away, more stops, car horns honking, many people stopping me to take photos. Final stop was less than a kilometre from home when I was stopped by a teacher from a nearby school and was invited in to participate in their Christmas activity that had just started - a good time was had by all!

Boxing Day - 40.15 kms, different route.

Reminded me of those 'Mastercard' ads:-

Cost of candy - about 200 Baht

Printing the cards - about the same

Smiles on peoples faces - priceless!

Great fun and you made a lot of people happy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Well done, Peter. How's Goy?

Nice to read something positive for a change

Good exercise, spreading joy and festive spirit, great initiative.

Good on ya

Fantastic! Good on ya', sir. :-)

If I had a dime for every genuinely good hearted plan (like this one of yours) I dream up....I'd have a lot more money than if I had a hundred dollars for every one of those plans I actually put into action. Thank you for the inspiration to make 2010 more of a "do good" year than just a "think good" one.

CHEERS!

What a fantastic initiative. I think that all cyclists (I'm one) should do this next year.

Well done Hippo, happy new year

My hat's off to ya

Excellent idea!! Tell me, did you dress up in 'disguise' ie - as Father Christmas?
