Fathers Day ideas

feemackenzie

My wife and kids have asked for Fathers Day ideas (I assume they will buy something for me). Any thoughts under £50 beyond:

- new helmet
- money towards new saddle
- subscription to Cyclist


Look forward the wide and varied ** clean ** suggestions!

Bib shorts that you must try on in front of the wife.

If you decide to get a new helmet, specialized have a trade in deal, if you bring an old one in. Not sure how long its running for.

I like the subscription idea as its a monthly remainder of father's day, but can I also suggest can bling -

1. Nice gloves/ mitts
2. sunglasses
3. a new jersey.

Basically stuff they can see you wear when you cycle.

I would have said get them to cook you a breakfast (always find that is a fab thing for the kids to do) but I do like mathew h' idea of paying for a sportive or event.

Pinarello perhaps? And I do believe he would give you change from the 50 quid.

Suggest rather than something for you share it with the family and do a day out later in the year at the tour of britain?

I'm hoping for what I ask for every Fathers Day / Birthday / Christmas ............. just to be left alone to get out & ride

Hopefully it won't happen in my house neither. I hate these contrived occasions. Missus thinks I'm a miserable git though.

I think its good for the kids, like I said above, a breakfast is a great gift, the kids can be happy knowing they are doing something good for dad (mom on mothers day) there is no harm in it.

I always suggest one of those items that you'd like .. But .. Can't bring yourself to buy.

Rapha Essentials Case ... £40.00.

ddraver

Ordered one of these for my old man - https://www.culturelabel.com/checkout/cart/

I'm sure Rapha do the same thing for 50sqids...

Quality gift.
I got a book on vineyards from Napa and Sonoma at Christmas, it was a wonderful gift, valued far more than high priced tat that is usually given, ill keep it forever and treasure it.

1/4 of weed and £10 worth of munchies.

£50 would get you a nice Torm jersey.
