    I got some novelty toilet roll and a Britain by bike book which has the added bonus of pics of the sexy Clare balding in baggy shorts.

    Castelli Radiation jacket - now slightly used with a few mud splatters - lovely! After crashing on a ride one Xmas morning and trashing a whole load of Assos kit, as well as suffering painful bruising and grazing, you won't know how relieved I was to arrive home intact!
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    I got nothing cycling related.

    Then again, people who buy me cycling stuff tend to have the worst taste in the world.

    Very best wishes to DD & OmarB. :D. Very, very happy for you!

    Got no cycling giftage yet, but visiting the family tomorrow, so fingers crossed.

    That's if I'm still alive. I went out for a ride a 10am this morning and apparently I said I would be back within 2 hours without fail. Got back at 5pm. I currently stand accused of planning the whole thing, then lying about my intentions. I was observed fitting the pannier rack and pannier, making ham sandwiches and swiping 4 bananas, plus two bottles of water. From this evidence it has been concluded (by someone who knows nothing about cycling) that my intention was a day trip.

    Good choice. I got one and wore it once. It shattered big time. However my head didn't even get a bruise (I broke my back and smashed my shoulder though).
    I landed on my head/shoulder at over 30mph...
    So I can vouch for their crash protection...

    Relative newcomer but hope you don't mind me posting in this thread. Brooks team pro (copper, honey). I don't get on with modern saddles and wanted something 'racier' than my B17. V happy.

    Congrats DD, hope there is a section in the church reserved for the BR members ;)

    Nothing cycling related for me but to be honest I wasn't holding out for an SRM to be under the tree, maybe next year.

    If the geek that is to be my husband has anything to do with things it will probably be available live on line just for BR!

    Congrats to DD, wow!

    For myself one Graeme Obree book and a wind proof cycling top form EBC, more importantly spent the day with my family and had a great day.
