Need advice on a gift for a favorite cycling instructor who is moving to SF

[FreshNewbie]

Help, i am frying my brains !!! My favorite instructor Tracy is moving to San Francisco :-( This woman is so much fun and brings so much energy to every class its unbelievable. It's sad to see her move but I am happy for her at the same time. I want to buy something for that's fun and will be remembered. I was considering some cool funny jersey but afraid to make a wrong choice on the size. HELPPPPPPPPP

Maybe a bike/messenger bag--useful and you don't need to worry about size.

How about a TE gift certificate? http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=1445

[FreshNewbie]

I actually thought of getting certificate but then I would leave it as my last resort in case I don't find anything. Messanger bag she has already :confused: She is also a triathlete and a runner, but of course I think cycling stuff is always much more fun :-)

Is she a road rider? There are a bunch of books out with different Bay Area bike rides.

Will she be in San Francisco? A Zoo Membership? (snap loves the zoo......)

[FreshNewbie]

whats Zoo? you mean like actual zoo with animals :-) Yea she got a really cool job with Mountain Hardware company and she will be living in San Francisco

What's your budget? I think the Bay Area cycling books are a great idea.

For something small . . .

If you are a crafty sort, you can also make her something and personalize it. Or just get the above bracelet and add a couple of personalized charms.

get her a house? they're expensive here ;) :cool: :rolleyes: but seriously be sure to tell her about TE, we actually get out and ride together, also lots of local bike clubs including the Velogirls and Lunachix.

[FreshNewbie]

definitely will tell her about TE, hope she doesn't know yet otherwise wouldn't be such a surprise ( my present i mean ) :D She really is such an awsome energetic person.

Oh my! :p

I think Snap has a good idea about the Bay Area cycling books. It will help her get an idea of some really cool routes in the area.

What about some Krebs maps of Northern CA? You could print out a list of all of the local bike shops too, so she can figure out which one will be close to her. Maybe make a cycling care packet of sorts.

Oops! Yeah, cold foggy summers. Blew that joke!
