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

Post Your Christmas Gifts!

I don't see one of these on the first couple pages. We had one last year that was a hit.
Post your cycling related gifts! Or if you gave something cool, post that.

I'll start:
My wife got me a Castelli Spinta Long Sleeve Jersey.
My mother got me a travel 'stick'. (muscle recovery massage thingy)

I suggest a tiny dab of threadlock on the CO2 holder. I've had a few cartridges vibrate loose and fall out on rides.

A long sleeve 7-Eleven tribute jersey?

I covet my neighbor's jersey. I have a short sleeved one, but that's only good for the fifteen minutes of warmth we get.

At the point in my marriage where we get ourselves our own gifts. I bought myself a 6800 groupset, which made this year very good to me.

I got a fluid trainer, two pairs of wool cycling socks, shoe covers and an REI gift card.

Also a ukulele, but I doubt I'll mix that with cycling.

This-- every "suprise" cycling gift has been a complete and utter fail (except for gift cards).

Sidi Genius Fit shoes. Have not received them yet in fact just ordered them so waiting for a visit from the Brown Santa(UPS). Wanted a pair of Sidi shoes forever so looking forward to these. Cost more than my work boots, this sure is a pricey hobby. Originally bought Genius 5 Pro Carbon but way better deal on newer model and faster arrival.
