Xmas Lists

Red Rider

Sorry, I know it's still October... but some organised people are already asking me what I want for christmas - aint mums brilliant?!

What (not overly expensive) sort of things are you guys gonna ask Santa for?

My rather pathetic list currently stands at::

1) Knog frogs. (I already have lights for the commute but you can never have too many, and they do look just lurvely!)

RR

RachelW

Easy - a helmet cam. A bit on the pricey side but am hoping rellies might club together if I drop enough hints.

suzyb

I've already got a big list of things.

SPD pedals + shoes
New helmet
small rucksack
multi-tool + just in case bits and bobs
Helmet cam

And that's just the bike stuff.

White Line

Garmin Edge 605.

I'm a good boy. Promise.

linsen

I'd like

1. some va va voom

2. some promises of adventures when I have received (a)

3. Some of those knog lights look good, I'd like those too

4. 12 extra hours in each day. Preferably daylight ones

White Line

Oh, number four sounds good. I think I'll have some of that too.

andy83

wiggle vouchers, bought through my account to add to my running total obviously

Just 12 hours of light would be good...... Up here we now plunged into the Darkness of Middle Earth till the end of March.

Hey -null-, sounds like you are begining to take this seriously.....
Etape Caledonia next year?

Specialized Needs

I normally get my wife a lot of little pressies (as well as a big one or two) as stocking fillers. I had thought the 'firefly' type of light up dust cap would be a good idea - but I can't easily find them online. I'm probably searching with the wrong thing!

Intend to look into it

You?

panniers
bike rack

to my list

Sailorchick

New pannier set (I decided to ride off without hooking them on properly, was very lucky they broke rather than the spokes they attached too! The bodged repair is just about holding)

SPD Shoes and Pedals.

I have entered already. I am also planning a Glasgow to Durness in late May/early June camping all the way. This year's Spring challenge was the West Highland Way, so just fancied something bike related for next year. Etape will be training run for it...

asprilla

Mrs Asprilla will be presenting me with a mini-me around Xmas and provided that's all ok, I'll be very happy.

Wooliferkins

I'm feeling particularly shallow today (dont go there LiT) a Rapha Cap

Hopefully I'll be able to get a bike rack for the car at christmas so will be able to travel a bit further a field. Maybe even go on a cycling getaway.

Twin Six Greaser Top
and entry fee for the TOW.

Would also like the money for the L2P but don't know anyone willing to spend that on me.

I just took a couple back to my LBS as they didnt work. The motion activated switch was sensitive enough to set them blinking when I walked past the bike, but when the wheels turned at anything over 5mph the cetrifugal force was greater than the switch's switchiness and they stayed off

Well, that's what I read it as anyway :oops:

Clever Pun

I want rapha 3/4s both the cross and road ones.. I can't bring myself to spend quite that much yet... but vouchers would do the trick

Reservations for El Buli would also be pretty sweet

cee

I would like:

new Knives and pans for the kitchen :oops:

I'm insisting that I receive no gifts at all this year. I always try to but nobody lets me just have nothing. This year they will, I'm determined.

One of mine was sharp enough to slice straight through my thumb, thumbnail included, and catch in the bone.

Must be more careful while chopping...

Ouch!!!

I dread knocking one of the thin ones off the surface. One of the people i worked with when I were a lad did that and it went through her foot and into the floorboard.

Proper ouch!!!

Red Rider

Sliced into my finger yesterday when for some reason I decided to slice a bagel in half whilst holding it - using my digits as some sort of soft chopping board. I'd say lesson learnt, but it's not the first time...

Anyway, I'm gonna add this to my list. Xmas would seem a good excuse to get a new rucky sack and unless anyone's got a better idea, then I've fallen for this in the way I so often do for shiny red inanimate objects.

May I recommend you this website for their post-Christmas sale then:

http://www.pots-and-pans.co.uk/

I got a cracking deal on a set of Henckels knives - £127 and a free chopping board. Best current price for them online is £250.

If you're feeling flush they also have copper pans.
