Cool thread for roadies who received nothing on Christmas

Notices
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

I got my Psimet wheels waiting for me in a box when I get home from The Island tomorrow

Going to do my benchmark 40k TT on them on Sunday - my last ride of the year before descending into a drunken haze that I hope to emerge from by Jan 2, 2010.

Last year, I got a nose hair trimmer and 2 pair of jeans.

This year, I got a crap load of motorcycle stuff...crash bars, pegs, grips, luggage, a backrest, jacket, boots, and a new iPod.
