Ok lets get a good Christmas list going here…I know there are lots of us asked year after year what we want for Christmas and instead of saying “I don’t know” and getting an ugly sweater, we can come together to put some good ideas on the list.
Obviously I started this thread so I am running out of good ideas so lets start thinking. To make it more fun, lets put in price brackets
$25 or under: Gu, Accelerade, Endurox, etc…anything consumable
$50 or under: Cycling Gloves
$100 or under: New tires
$200 or under: New helmet
$500 or under: Carbon Base bar
$1000 or under: All expenses paid to the race of your choice
Seriously, if they have “everything” consider making a donation to their favorite charity. I have done this a couple of times for friends/family members who honestly say they don’t need/want any more “stuff” in their lives, and it has always been well received.
take away all the gadgets they dont need and prevent them to concentrate on getting better!!
I know i am old school but i still think training works better than anything else
I know people who have no time to train because they have to clean their 4 bikes…

instead of meaningless christmas gifts for coworkers (who needs another coffee mug full of candies?), tanker and i go and buy a bunch of inexpensive toys and drop them in the santas anonymous donations bin, then give cards to colleagues that state a toy has been donated on their behalf. - they get a warm fuzzy feeling that they did some good in the world (without lifting a finger), and some less fortunate kids have a gift under the tree. everyone wins.
