Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

very nice! I got squat for the bike this year other than a $50 Performance gift card. I did however get a brand new tool set, front suspension, and cams for my motorcycle!

I was dropping hints to the wife about either the Sidi Wire vent's or Bont Vaypor+ shoes, but she doesn't get this type of thing.

Merry Christmas to all!

Full Park TS-2.2P truing stand, base, and dial indicators. Also with WAG 4 dishing tool. And a Road ID membership and clothing kit. I should mention that since Chanukah is already past, that is how I know. Besides I had to order all the stuff myself using gift cards.

I bought these for my framebuilder



Several people have asked if I needed anything cycling related, or asked if cash would be better(knowing that I get dealer cost).

I think a name change to Rapha10 is long overdue.

I don't anticipate much. My family know me well enough and cycling little enough to know that anything that's within our usual spend budget I either already have, or don't want.

My parents got me some lighted bands for my ankles or wrists so I'd be safer when I'm riding at night. They worry about me so. (I do think they will be great for visibility) also some more cold weather clothing. (Always needed)

My gifts to myself: CAAD10 to pick up in late January when I come visit home again, and Spy Alphas (Happy lenses).
From my sister: 105 pedals and Salted Caramel Gu shots
From my parents: full-finger gloves and some lights
We do Christmas and New Years' at our house, so we'll see if there's anything else under the tree for me/my bike in a week. (I hear rumours of a Garmin 510, crossing my fingers).
