    Two weeks of cycling! I wear the skirt in our house and the wife's off for two weeks, so get ready for two weeks of shite weather over the Xmas period.

    A pair of woolen socks. We pensioners aren't minted you know :wink: This year has included too many 'gifts' to self to be overly indulgent. Mrs S G gets a Nexus7, so I should be in the 'good books' for the January sales :)

    Some EPO.

    I've spent far too much on bikes and accessories this year to be able to afford any more, still not any faster though.

    Just ordered a Cateye Cadence computer & a new front light, a Cateye Nano shot. Both from Ribble, both much cheaper than anywhere else I tried. Ordered them at just before midnight last night, got an email saying they had been dispatched this morning! :D

    Santa must like the mince pies down at Strada or something? Today he returned my old PowerTap hub from Strada laced into an Archetype rim. Sapim race spokes. Oh, and a matching 32H Hope III Archetype front. A nice pair of training wheels. :D

    Makes my Felt B2 Pro purchase look like a Christmas jumper! Good luck to you pal.
    Well, my offer's been accepted - the house is in the middle of the group in the bottom middle of this photo:

    P1010154_03-01-2013.jpg

    This is the photo I took on Tuesday, the day before agreeing the price with the notaire.

    I'll be looking forward to temperatures in the mid 30s by August when I hope to be there for the whole month. I think I might like this present to myself.

    Not for a while, as it needs work on it so it's a little more than basic - then I'll probably try the idea out with club mates first. But it's prime cycling country there - no shortage of stunning roads right from the doorstep, and halfway between Alpe d'Huez and Mont Ventoux...

    Just feeling a bit pleased. The house is now officially mine. In the end it actually happened on my birthday, which was quite a nice coincidence. I can't wait to get out there now (the arrow marks the spot):
