Lesson with Jedi so he can turn me into a riding god, I’m sure one lesson will be enough! 👍🤗😂
Nothing but peace and quiet. We spent the money we would of spent buying stuff and took the camper on a lap of the NC500, currently in Skye, on our own in the middle of nowhere. Perfect.
I hate you with so much jealousy right now.
Nothing (bike related)-- my wife refuses to bother with bike shops or websites. I of course have to check out perfume, jewellery, ladies clothes and other esoteric shops and sites.
At least one of the kids bought me a bottle of whiskey.
A Restrap saddle bag. Hopefully I get to go on a wee trip too.
New bib shorts, winter socks and mini pump. Not bad this year!
adidas Trailcross GTX boots.
Some replacements for my tatty RaceFace Charge kneepads.
100% Brisker gloves.
A cool little book of a photographic history of cycling.
A couple of t-shirts with bike related graphics.
An Oakley hoodie.
Can't complain...
Pal and I want to do the 5 ferries road bike ride off the west coast of Scotland.

Our wives have booked a weekend for both families on the route in a nice hotel...and we can spend the Saturday to go off and do the route.
Absolutely splendid, will be a top weekend and looking forward to the route 👍
The Road Book 2021 from the kids.
A cycliq 6 from my partner.
A muc-off cleaning kit from my mum.
I might have bought the first two just to be sure 🤭.
GR@V3L **** brass top cap
And my annual request of CRC vouchers from most of the family. This is usually used to buy something I would consider a luxury I cannot afford.
I've also had a surprise secret Santa which was delivered to a neighbour - means I'm sporting a new merino Buff and softshell gloves.
All good stuff to plug little gaps in my clothing collection - Stolen Goat Orkaan knee warmers, Galibier barrier winter gloves, Wiggle voucher shortly to be converted into overshoes...
Anything to get my mojo back and get back outdoors on the bike!
Oh, and a really nice wee Sa Calobra print to hang up in the misery cave/office to further inspire me 😎
A nice book about rides of the world, and a new gravel bike, but that’s my own pressie to me 🤪
The revelate designs fairy visited…
nothing, nada, nowt, neigh, do to with cycling under my tree. oh well. I have been told that i will be allowed out at some point in the new year for a mornings bike bike though, so not all bad 🙁
Gore C3 undershorts to replace some that are 10 years old and falling apart.
New Giro Chronicle helmet to replace my Montaro which was starting to look tatty, labels peeling etc. I was quite annoyed until I realised it's more than 5 years old.
Muc Off stuff from my son !
I got a Shimano wind breaker thing. It's really nice. Not super fancy or anything but a little pocket on the back and a little unzipped pocket on the chest. The cuffs have two poppers so they can be rolled up the arm.
I would say it's the perfect design for me. And it's a noice colour too.
