An experience day at a velodrome.

I've always fancied one of these:

That is exactly what I thought of when I saw the thread title. Great minds..

A cycle tour, somewhere of your choice.

If you haven't got a GPS already, something like a Garmin Edge 520?

No I havent and I the 520 would probably be the one I would go for

I will have a look at that thanks man

She should buy a latex jumpsuit, and hire a black motorcycle and recreate you avatar

That'd be taking it to far. Female rider

 

[Soltydog]

A cycle tour, somewhere of your choice.

Sounds like a plan It's a couple of years to my half century & I've already 'provisionally' booked by present. A friend runs a cycling trip to France every 2 years, so I'm booked on that for my 50th & hopefully Mrs Soltydog will be making a significant contribution

I got a banjo for my 50th, got to be worth a thought.

Balloon flight, biplane flight, gig tickets, Scuba course

As Ian suggested a really good watch, my 50th gift to myself was a very nice timepiece that I will only wear on special occasions.

I got an analogue PVR for mine. It had 6 years of intense use and then became completely useless with the digital changeover!

 

[Levo-Lon]

I got this for my 50th...

 

[ColinJ]

A gas cylinder ...? What a crappy present!

But it looks like a nice expensive barbecue. Outback no less.

 

[Mrs M]

I got a trip to Lanzarote and my lovely Pashley
Happy birthday, 50 is the new 30 bye the way

 

[ColinJ]

Happy birthday, 50 is the new 30 bye the way

30 is the new 50, more like ... young people used to think you were old when you got to 50. Now they think you are ancient at 30!

30 is the new 50, more like ... young people used to think you were old when you got to 50. Now they think you are ancient at 30!

True enough
When I started work aged 20 I though the 27 year old in my office was "an old"
