Alright it's that time of year. We rush around trying to show everyone that we care about them with gifts we hope they'll like, appreciate, and not want to return to the store. That is unless you're a wierdo like me who starts shopping for Christmas in January. If the kids ever find where I stash it all, I'm out one great hiding place. Anyways, I was just wondering what MTBR's would love to see under their tree.

My top 5 list would be:
1. an all-expense paid biking trip
2. time with a personal bike trainer to improve my biking skills
3. new winter clothing to ride in
4. a new headlight for night riding
5. promises that I could ride wherever and whenever I like

What would you dream of?

A windproof, waterproof jacket that I don't sweat to death inside when riding that is a cute color that will fold up into my xs jersey pocket.

Any suggestions?

I like your list. Can I amend mine to include the MILD winter? It started raining in NorCal with nasty winds and rapid temp drops. What one needs to crush any biker's dreams of a good ride day. I just found the best warm socks, Buffalo Boolies. There by the same company that makes Polar Boolies and Woolie Boolies. Oh yummy, warm footies!!!!!

I was worried about what to get for my friends who are starting to have babies. That is, until I came across this website: http://babycage.net/submitmain.php

I hope they have gift certificates

[aword4you]

I want the LBS to get in my Spec Womens Taho MTB shoes (requested them before Halloween), and the Specialized BG Women's Grips (trying to get rid of ulnar nerve issues/pain).

I already got my new Easton XC carbon bar and a new Thomson stem to go with it.

Hubby is trying to decide between a 30gb iPod or a bike stand.

Umm that one might get in the way of your pedals lol.
I was talking about the one further down the page, which is number DN602...

The absolute ultimate gift, though, would be for my obese father to get a bike and start riding. I'd get him a bike if I thought he would actually use it.

 

[Kallisti]

If I tell you, you'll all want one

I'm not usually one for jerseys, in fact, I everything I wear is plain. But I find myself really wanting these:

1) This just pretty much sums me up.
2) I wish this came in women's. I just know he's thinking "It's a do-able climb on the SS if I could just traverse that last bit..."
