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

My Boyd wheels came in about 2 weeks ago, but that was the deal with my wife.
Mother in-law gave me a standard ultegra 6700 crank.
I got a pair of knee warmers as a stocking stuffer.
My wife got her Jamis Alegro Sport bike for in-city riding and few items for her new bike saddle bag, multi-tool, tube, c02 pump.

I got all cold-weather clothing, which I appreciate because it's so expensive!
Bunch of Assos stuff for my head: Balaclava (makes me look like a ninja, only most people would think I'll throw folded 100-dollar bills at them instead of ninja-stars), skullcap.
PI helmet cover.
Assos lobster claws.
Mavic cyclone Jacket
PI wool long sleeve jersey which is actually really cool. Makes it look like I'm a colonel in the Fred army (which is what I told my wife, who gave it to me who then lol'ed)

PI base layer, long sleeve jersey, tights, shoe covers.
Great x-mas for me.

The aeros were more of a trial. They may stay, they may go. yet to be determined. Ill admit it could be a cleaner picture as far as clutter on the bars is concerned, my commuter is temporarily out of comission so this is it for the time being

The stuff that htey have that bothers me is their "Abrasive Series" chamois. Some of them are 200 grit. The good ones are gold, don't get me wrong but they collaborated with 3M Abrasives for their lower end stuff. I did 92 miles on one of their lower-end shorts and I though that I would have to give up cycling. I got some of their better shorts and they are incredibly good.

Two pairs of merino wool socks, a Bontrager 4w computer, a Camelback insulated water bottle, and a gift certificate to my favorite bike shop.

And from Santa: 43 degrees, sunny with a very light breeze on Christmas Day in northern Minnesota. Yes, I abandonded the family for an hour for a 20 mile ride.

My bosses at the bike shop I work at gave me a giftcard to the shop just in time to replace a helmet I crashed in and I got a couple pairs of socks. Also got a bicycle shaped key chain that doubles as a bottle opener.
