Resident Curmudgeon 25290 The Road Back Gold member | Subject: RE: a letter to santa I tried to post mine and got an error message. Something about exceeding space allocation. Seriously, I'd settle for a tri-bike. Cervelo Dual, 54cm please. And a pair of Sidi® T1 Tri Shoes. And some Speedplay® X/1 Titanium Road Pedals. And a set of HED Three-Spoke wheels. And...

| Champion 8903 | Subject: RE: a letter to santa Dear Santa: I sure would like a Compu-trainer for Christmas, but you know, I'd gladly give it and everything else up if you can keep my wife Patti healthy for one more year. It's the same deal that I asked for last year. You helped her out then, I'm hoping it's not too much to ask once more? The bike trainer and other stuff would be nice, but I'd never find a use for it if she weren't at the finish with a big smile on her face and a heart about ready to explode when I come across the line. All the swimming, biking, and running gear in the world is a good trade-off to just having her with me. You can give the other things to whomever you think needs them the most. Thanks in advance from the both of us! Patti & Max |

Expert 1166 Colchester, CT | Subject: RE: a letter to santa Dear Santa As you know I'm new to triathlons, and although I've done wonderful with the gear I have, I think there are a few things that can really help me out, if you have extra room in your bag. 1. Speedplay pedals 2. Louis Garneau Air Tri shoes. 3. DeSoto Power Tri Tri shorts 4. Profile Design Aerodrink system 5. Bike Computer 6. Bike Trainer. 7. Race Number belt. As you can see, all these things are relatively small, and should have no problem fitting into your sack. Please pass on my best wishes to the rest of the crew at the North Pole Chris |

| Expert 786 Princeton, MN | Subject: RE: a letter to santa Well Santa: I'm not entirely sure yet. I'm not greedy like some folks ;-) But if you'd like to drop off a Trek Equinox 7 and a Cervelo One for me to try out in the next week or so then I can ride both to make up my mind and when you come round on Christmas eve with the rest of my pressies you can take back the one I don't want. At that time if you could drop off a Louis Garneau Prologue V helmet that'd be great. Ian Edited by lincsguyus 2004-09-17 8:56 AM |
