What's on your Xmas list this year?

[Anonymous]

The team at Cycling News are wondering what cycling-related products are at the top of your Xmas list this year? It can be anything - bikes, shoes, clothing, books, DVDs, etc. Let us know and we'll get some content up next week so you know where to find the products at the best price...

A new road bike., colnago or cannondale will suffice.Thank you.

I'm looking for a cycling news site that actually has cycling RACING related stories and not the TMZ type stories on cycling.

Colnago C59 Italia in GDOB color scheme.
Not sure I am getting it as the wifey just wanted to redo the kitchen.

We can't cook worth a damn though.

For Christmas I would like Pat McQuaid's home address so I could leave a gift at his front door, a heaping pile of shit set ablaze!

I can't help wondering whether Pat is related to Sepp Blatter, something about the way the two of them operate makes me suspicious.

Anyway on to Christmas presents, my present to me is a Giordano winter jacket, found one reduced from £199 down to £139.

Well, Pat's office address is 324 Grove Street Worcester, MA. Oh, wait...

They are soooooo warm mate. Mine totally changed how I feel about winter training.

As for me I'm getting a decent HR monitor as mine just tells me I'm dead most of the time. Anyone got any suggestions?

It's too late, man. The project started when I was out for a ride! Got home and the demolition had begun. Contractors were there next day.

Get that Garmin FR60 bundle, bike speed/cadence sensor, foot pod, chest strap. It is waterproof, small and forget about GPS. If some no readings at all, just add some moisture to chest sensors.
I already bought myself second hand deep section carbon tubs, and for my wifey "Electrolux Dryer No Need for Iron Just Watch Oprah" expensive as hell machine. Everyone are happy

Just the thought of that is good enough to consider it done. I mean, Paddy knows everything that is said here.

Other than that, I'd just like to keep my job.

Well you will end up buying it but I guess dropping a few hints might help, print out a few images/pages of the jacket from places you would buy it at (in case they get the size wrong) around the house or workplace

Water bottles - I've always had lots of freebies but they seemed in short supply in 2011.

did that a couple of years ago for my birthday...went into the LBS and tried on a jersey...told the manager to let my husband know that was the one when he came in. It worked!

We always donate gifts to a local giving tree. This year I'm going to buy some kids' helmets and donate them to the cause. On my rides, I see plenty of youngsters without helmets. I'll leave them unwrapped so the kids who don't want them will pass. I guess I'll be able to afford 4 or 5 without busting my budget (not Giros you know). So, not exactly my wish list, but I think it's a better than splurging $75 on new winter gloves when my old ones are ugly but still functional.
