Mountain Biking - What did you get for Christmas???

Or Hanukkah, or ......????

I got a pair of cycling socks, a couple of spare tubes and a patch kit. These were stocking stuffers from the in-laws. They always get me something cycling related however small. It's a nice jesture!

My wife renewed my subscription to Dirt Rag. Thanks Honey!!! She also got me a new jersey. A long sleeved Team Intense one. She doesn't know she got it for me, but she did! wink, wink!

The manager of the LBS where I work PT, gave me a hat! We agreed to not exchange gifts, but we did anyway! I gave him a CD!

My bro-in-law gave me a pneumatic butterfly driver, and three big packs of black zip ties (I use constantly for packing up bikes)

Although not directly cycling related, it will be used during cycling. My parents gave me a small digital camera. I'll be taking it with me on all upcoming rides and will begin posting some pictures of actual "riding", not just before and after shots!

I didn't get anything "big", but since I got my new bike a few months ago, my wife and I agreed I didn't really need anything. Plus, all our money went to get gifts for our only child. Our son is 2-1/2, and really into trains, so we got him a Thomas the Tank Engine train/track sets. Inlaws gave him the table! Plus numerous Hot Wheels, Race Cars and of course clothes!

I did try on some new helmets, but the shop didn't have the style/color I wanted in my size. If they did, I would have had a present from Santa under the tree.

I got my Hope Minis with Mavix x221 rims, wool socks for biking, giro E2 helmet from the older bro, winter riding gloves(have leather palms and sweat material my thump area etc) My sis got me a Boston U bike jersey and that's about all i got. But considering i didnt pitch in at all on the breaks i wouldnt have cared had i gotten anything else.

By the way i now have 4 rides on the breaks

My wife bought me a 2002 Rocky Mountain Trailhead! Sweet! I can't wait to try it out in the spring. Till then I'll stick with the winter beater.

Also with some of my xmas cash I bought myself a new Bell Infux helmet. Much better than my old Bell bargain basement lid.

My sis bought be a pair of snowboarding gloves that work great for winter riding when the temp is -10C or warmer.

I got a pair of Deore XT disc brakes. However the Jackass on the LBS informed my parents wrongly and gave them 160mm rotor for the front disc...although he knew that i would need a 170mm rotor since its a manitou fork.

A set of Avid Disc breaks, a 661 Full Bravo helmet, a SRAM PC99 chain, a Selle Italia Ti seat, a pair of Fox Demo shorts, and a pair of Fox socks. I also got a set of SRAM XO shifters and rear derailler. I made out like a bandit, I tell ya :D

Kranked riology dvd

Minoura trainer (we split for it)
Some clothes...

i got a k2 hydroplane for when i'm thirsty. I also got a pair of bombshell shorts and knee/shin guards, neither of which were able to keep me from dislocating my shoulder on a failed drop-off last night. OUCH!

Bought myself a Specialized Allez and a belly dance costume. Got a Digital Elph Camera and lots of other little things like an electric blanket and a scarf... Oh yeah, I hit the Victoria's Secret sale with some Christmas money. Hooray for sales!! And I bought myself some mountain biking socks that say "Girls Love Dirt" and some winter riding gloves. Next year I gotta remember to ask SOMEBODY ELSE for biking stuff!!

A slick Wrench Force bike workstand
