I got my house broken into on christmas eve. My alarm went off and spooked them, so they didn't get anything....they didn't even get in the house this time.
I just know someone was targeting me because they must have known I just got some new Capo bibs and an Easton stem. I guess those items are fetching a pretty penny at pawn shops these days!
Anyway, that put a little damper on my christmas because I couldn't buy a replacement lock until yesterday, and I had cardboard shoved in the door keeping it closed after it was kicked in. :O

The one thing that scares off a robber more than an alarm? The sound of a chainsaw starting. Just sayin....

Dropped heavy hints this year, so Santa came through: Serfas True500 LED headlight, the 7-11 Book and the Italian Racing Cycles book. The Serfas is wicked bright.

The Rock Cycle
I got 100 REI bucks. Probably spend that on cycling stuff eventually.
And I really did get coal in my stocking. And I was excited about it, being a geologist. mmm....sub bituminous....

From by wife:
Gearing up for winter riding-

Because the guys in my LBS told her that speedplay cleats must be protected-
Helping me get ready for my first forays into ultra-distance cycling-
and-
Good haul.
Great wife!

I got a real commercial espresso machine and a grinder. I have been so jacked up on espresso for the past several days that my HR has not come down below 180% FTP since. Who needs to ride for fitness? Not me anymore LOL.......

I got my wife a replacement frame for her bike, some shoe covers, warm riding tights and warm gloves. I got her an older Merlin titanium frame, painted red except the rear triangle. I am now looking to get her a new fork and headset. My wife got me several bike related stuff, new Zipp bars for my Merlin and a new black Thomspon stem. I ordered some red/black spacers for the bars and I am going to have my LBS put the bars on the stem with a torque wrench (so they can warranty it, she got it there).

I got a Fizik seat bag (the ICS one), two new red water bottle cages to replace my disgusting white ones and a Garmin Edge 500 (Red/Black bundle). It was a great Christmas. I also got some money and I'll be buying a winter coat today or tomorrow.

Everybody keeps old tires and worn out bike parts "just in case" too right?

A pair of these Bontrager Race Lite cages :
I have had awful luck with bottle cages this year and my girlfriend got me these.....They match the trim of the bike even
$500 of our Xmas budget went towards the final payment for my Permanent Residency Visa here in Canada, so my ultimate Xmas gift will be my gre Ben card.
Cheers,
Brian J.
