So what did Santa bring you this Jolly Christmas? (pics if pos)
I'll start first; i got a new 661 Evolution full face helmet, a chain guide and a pedros cleaning kit from my bros.
A very Merry Christmas to all 🙂
Endura BaaBaa base layer, Pedros (flowery 
) arm warmers, Specialized spd's, Woolie Boolie socks AND a Buff!
I was very pleased with my presents, I shall be as warm as toast!
'Cycling Home from Siberia' Rob Lilwall
Looks great, the crazy bugger was on the road for well over 3 years, and started with a 3,500 mile detour through the Siberian winter!
A
Bike Stand and Tool kit from Mrs B
Sealskinz Technical Gloves from the Baby B's
Cash towards a Great Rock Skills Day from the outlaws (just as soon as my wrist is fully healed up)
Kyle Strait Earth knee Pads, a pair of high Rollers, Tyres for the winter commuter oh, and the winter commuter to put them on - Altura Attack trousers - all actually from Father Christmas (Me 😳 )

Saddle sore, too many days off to ride!
A cardigan and some slippers were about the most memorable gifts I received this year.
Oh, and a box of tasty foodstuffs.

I fell off on the ice on boxing day and initially thought it was nothing but my chest has been getting more and more painful so I suspect I've got a broken or bruised rib going on too.
As well as the usual bike related stuff I got this. 😀

Lovely guitar, only slightly let down by the cheap pickups. But not for much longer. Can't wait to hear them through the Blackstar.

Better not take those Mavic wheels out in the snow, you might lose them with that camo effect.
From Flannels:
A suit (dark grey wool with brown buttons) 😀 and a pair of pale blue brogues with brown leather soles (also from Flannels to wear with jeans) 😀
A casual cashmere suit-style jacket.
No bikestuff.
Manflu 🙁

Like Explosion in a Spaghetti Factory, I also got a Handpresso as well as the usual bike related stuff. Seems to work well, but annoyingly didn't come with a tamper- at the moment I'm having problems getting the flow slow enough to make a strong cup.
If I'm remembering correctly that would be an Ibanez Iceman.
I got my first SPDs along with which came the lesson: Do not forget you are clipped in when you stop at a road junction. Lesson reinforced by the humility of having a stupid fall witnessed.
A handpresso tthew! I'd love to try one out but don't think they're cheap.
a 'Samsung touchscreen mobile'.... how the hell do i work that ? lol...
itacx turbi trainer with fortius software,look it up but don,t blame me when you want one,brrrrrrilliant
A trip down memory lane for me
