I couldn't restrain myself anymore after seeing the awesome gifts (and today is Festivus); my Santa was exceedingly generous...beautiful record front hub, NR levers and hoods (going right on my Frejus) and a REG bottle cage (always love those and always can use one!). Photos tomorrow, but thank you!

Since I'm headed out of town first thing in the morning, tonight was our at home gift opening. I must have been a much better boy than I remember...
A VO saddle in a nice width and a smart chrome/black combo. Thank you Secret Santa! This is going to be fantastic on my new gravel grinder.

My Santa is a mind reader or something.. I've been meaning to get a waterproof saddlebag and just haven't. Looking forward to thanking them.

I'm out of town for the holidays. I didn't see my SS gift before I left on Monday morning, but I hope to find it waiting when I return. I'll post pics when I get back.
I wish all my C&V brethren a wonderful Christmas and all the best in 2014.

Still learning
Dear Secret Santa,
If your tracking number says delivered, let someone know so they can let me know. Unfortunately, when boxes/packages get shipped to NJ, my mom has alzheimers and packages disappear, sometimes for ten months!

USPS elves haven't updated the tracking status of my outbound package since Dec 12 when it hit SF. I hope the package made it to it's intended destination in time. Merry Christmas to all and a huge thanks to PB for organizing this! Brad
