12 Days of Christmas Day 11 Stages Dash
Okay - while this one is a bit more pricey but still fits in a stocking that is anything from Stages Cycling (unless you go for the Stages bike - may be a bit tough to squeeze in a stocking. Anyways, my favorite product that is apart of the Stages line up as well as a product I have been using for quite some time which is the Stage Dash M50.
Stages Dash is one of the most affordable cycling computers starting at $74.99 for the Dash L10 then $249.99 for the bright colored skin of the Dash M50. Gifting a Stages Dash is something any cyclist would love.
With ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity you can pair Dash to almost any device and the screen is easily configured to display any combination of data you prefer, in either landscape or portrait mode. Live data graphing tracks and compares elevation progress, power, speed, cadence or heart rate over the course of a ride, in real time as a ride unfolds. The Dash is backed up by an all-new Stages LINK app for setup, wireless ride file transfers, on-screen text and phone notifications and comprehensive ride data analysis and training history, all for free.

12 Days of Christmas Day 5 and 6 ESI Grips and BeetRoot Pro
Sorry for missing a post but these next two products are awesome affordable products that you can use as a stocking stuffer for your family member or cycling loving spouse.
Up first is ESI grips! I use these quite frequently and even if the person you’re getting the gift for rides mountain bikes or road bikes ESI has something for any cyclist to love!
Grips come in several colors, shapes, and sizes!
ESI Handlebar tape comes in may colors!
Next is Beetroot Pro. Loads of cyclist are always looking for that next gain and that is where Beetroot Pro comes into play. Beetroot products have shown to give performance in endurance athletes for many year but can also be quite expensive and hard to find. Along with it being hard to find many beetroot products have a very earthy and dirt taste. Beetroot Pro is not only affordable but also tastes great due to the natural cherry flavoring!
12 Days of Christmas Day 4 Coffee Subscription
You can never go wrong with a good cup of coffee for a cyclist so if you give them a bag of good beans or even a subscribe, that is the gift that just keeps on giving.
There are 2 subscriptions that I am a huge fan of and that is through Switchback Coffee Roasters here in Colorado Springs and Bottomless Coffee.

With Switchback’s subscription, you can get a fresh, 12oz/5 lbs bag of single origin or blend coffee delivered to you on the weekly or biweekly (starting at $17 a week) The roasters will choose a different coffee each week, depending on subscription you select. Which keeps you on your toes and having a new free coffee every week!
Coffee is shipped every Friday, to be at your door at the beginning of the week! The coolest part is that they ship for free making the subscription as little as $34 a month (shipments every two weeks).
Bottomless is one of the most interesting coffee subscriptions I have seen, the way it works is you sign up (for as little as $5.99) they send you a bag of coffee and your Bottomless Wifi Scale (with purchase of coffee). Then you set the scale up to pick the frequency of coffee and the scale measures to predict the right time to send you coffee so you never run out of fresh coffee it is insane! So all you have to do is drink and weigh your coffee bag and they send some of the best coffees from some of the best roasters in the country straight to your door!
12 Days of Christmas Day 3 Panaracer Gravel Kings
Okay guys this has been a tire I have recently been introduced to which is wildly popular and a tire that can hang with the best on the road while also standing the test of time in rocky sections. For the 2020 season I have been riding my Velo Flyer Gravel Bike only and it has been some of the most fun training I have experienced. Riding close to 18-22 hours a week 2,500 kms a month these tires can handle it all!
The Panaracer Gravel King line up has it all but my favorite is probably there slick version which is the Gravel King Plus. I run these in 700x38 on the road and on the dirt!
Be sure to check out Panaracer Tires to make your cycling loving family member or friend enjoy the ride that much more!

12 Days of Christmas Day 1 ZEAL® Pro
Hey Everyone!
I wanted to share with you 12 gifts that I would recommend getting your cyclist loving family member, friend, or spouse this holiday season.
DAY 1: First up is the ZEAL® Pro bag! The ZEAL® Pro bike bag is the leading protection for road, triathlon, gravel, and cyclocross bikes while on an industry standard vehicle-based bike rack. Each bag is designed to work on all the standard rack types. The patented engineering allows the standard rack securing mechanisms to pass through the bike / bag combination while keeping your bike protected from the elements. Additionally, rubberized backing makes the fabric impermeable to water and prevents paint abrasion on your frame. Designed and tested to fit 48 cm to 63 cm road, triathlon, gravel, and cyclocross bikes, each bike kit includes pockets for the ZEAL® Pro Light Kit.
For triathletes, the ZEAL® Pro bike bag includes an expandable handlebar box to accommodate aero bars and an expanded seat tube for bikes with water bottle cages mounted behind the seat.
Currently ZEAL® Pro is working on launching their MTB Bag which should be available for Pre-order next week!
