I’m getting a Specialized Align MIPS helmet. At £40 it’s worth a punt. My old non MIPS version is getting a bit horrible and scruffy on the straps and hasn’t cleaned up well.

I’m also getting a Mavic Jersey which was reduced from £90 to £25 from my local bike shop.

Other than that I don’t think anything else will be bike or cycling related.

I’d like Raynor Winns new book which is a follow up to The Salt Path to read how her and hubby are doing now and perhaps Mountains According to G.

Nowt really. Pressies are more a kid thing.

I don't need anything, but that Garmin Explore offer on Amazon was too good to turn down, so MrsF has sent it to Santa. I have two older Garmins that work fine.

Sorry for being the party pooper, but all I want for Christmas is not to have one, and this looks like being the first year that my dream will come true!

(I always fantasised about going away somewhere scenic which has decent weather in December/January, and cycling right through the Christmas/New Year madness and just ignoring it all. The problems with that plan are (1) I can't afford it, and (2) Where could I go anyway where the locals wouldn't be doing the 'celebrations' either? )

I've asked Satan for two new waterbottles to replace my current ones which have a greenish tinge

 

[numbnuts]

Nothing....well a Covid vaccine that works would be nice, but that could be a pain in the arse

 

[palinurus]

Socks- medium thick, reinforced toe and heel, made of something which doesn't deposit lint all over my feet.

Another bass for the fleet.

My fantasy is to skip the whole thing and go skiing.
I'm never allowed though because other people

A friend of mine (who does actually like Christmas) got a job in an Alpine ski lodge one winter. When she wasn't actually working, she got plenty of skiing and hiking in!
