I got a bunch of gift cards so I can finally put the last payments down on my new Felt S22 Tri bike. Got a new helmet and all the accessories I asked for and more. I'd list them, but it might take a while! What can I say? I'm loved!! Can't wait to go pick up the bike tomorrow even though we got 6 inches of snow on Sunday!! It'll be hooked up to the trainer within minutes of arriving home in order to try out my new spinervals DVD. Have a good one!!!!

I got to do a Christmas Eve night ride with 8 of my closest cycling friends.....on fixies of course....we rode down the coast and looked at all the killer Christmas Lights on the homes then we all went to my place had some drinks and watched TDF DVD"S until about midnight.
This morning I rode again with 4 close cycling friends and my girlfriend on the tandem and spent the rest of the day with my family.
I also got a full Record 10 group with Zero Gravity Brakes........pretty sweet Christmas....rides with friends both days....some family time....and now it's time to put the new parts on!!!

Since my wife and I both work for the fire department, we did Christmas this morning with our son.
I made out like a bandit.
Jittery Joes jersey
Park multi-tool
Cleat covers (in response to me falling on my butt while wearing cycling shoes)
Road side flat kit and spare tube and seat bag to put it in
Assorted jelly beans (energy kind)
Energy gel packs
Carmicheal training video for my trainer
An Ipod nano
50 dollar trek gift card
and that I will be skinny and competitive one day (I've only had my bike for about 2 months and it's my first---ever) according to my 11 yr old son.

I got:
Rollers (My dad, being the evil one, made me a note trail that I had to follow to find it)
Heart rate monitor (83 BPM right now)
Gor-Tex Balaclava
I also got these nice, wool fingerless gloves/ mittens. They have a flap that covers your fingers to keep them warm, but you can pull it back so you can work on something without having your entire hand freeze

Don't mince words
You have the cyclist's version of Santa's workshop! It's amazing!
What make is that tandem? It's pretty, and I love the bar tape. Very sharp!

She gave the thumbs up to build a home workshop on the back of our new house and the contractors finished it last Saturday just in time for me to get it somewhat set up in time for Christmas. Tonight she handed me an envelope with a $500 certificate to use towards a paint job for the Colnago resto I'm working on(it's the white Arabesque hanging beside the Merckx). She's the absolute best and is obviously very supportive of my "habit".
Still have tons of boxes to unload, parts to organize and tools to hang but damn oh damn am I a very happy man. Merry Christmas to me!!!!!!

No, I've been bad. VERY bad. Blonduathlongrl has to punish me now.
She can whip me with the PowerTap HR Monitor strap while simultaneously gnawing at the suspenders of my racing bib with her teeth.
I don't perpetuate sexual harassment @ my company, I can only do it here.

Most importantly, I slipped my black HTFU braclet onto the stem. I think it'll be a constant reminder to keep pushing towards my personal biking goals (I got lazy at the end of '07).
I also upgraded my Ultegra9 to DA10 and made the switch from clinchers to tubies.
I can't wait for good riding weather! It's been snowing off and on for a week with another week forecasted. Winter sucks. Is it March, yet?
