Me too. Or bib shorts more than lingere. Or a new mountain bike more than a comparably priced piece of jewelry. Or a laptop more than diamonds.

Silvers- Valentines should be about celebrating what makes you happy together. Biking is that for you, I think you have a perfect day planned. Then again I am very un-romantic so what do I know?

I asked for new rear cassette for my Orbea. Hubby is putting it on Saturday! I also told him no chocolates or flowers. We are going out to dinner, though.

Oh, and Pajama Grams rock!!

Many years ago, I sent my husband a chocolate chip cookie arrangement for Valentine's Day. I was pregnant and sat eagerly awaiting his return home with my 2 year old. He came home empty handed and we were like, "Where's the cookies?" I could almost taste them.
He had eaten a couple and then gave the rest out at work...

He learned his lesson really quickly! Of course, I chalk it up to being young (28 or so).
I like diamonds, but I like sports stuff more. Well, we ride our trainers and both sing out loud to an old Queen cd that our son used to train by.

So far it looks like we've decided to fight instead of celebrate. If we're still fighting on Saturday, I'm off to Sacramento to try and catch the Amgen start. If we're not fighting, I may let him tag along....

Sounds like you all have great Valentine plans.

V-day should be about spending time with those you love, friends, family etc.

I am riding with my friends from Anaheim to San Diego (100 miles). Boyfriend is meeting me in San Diego, we are spending the night. He will probably surf while we are there. When I told the boyfriend I was more excited about the bikeride, he laughed and said that is why he loves me and he wouldn't want it any other way.

On other V-days when I didn't have one, a group of use went for long rides and then had dinner!

Happy V-Day to all.

More innocent victims sucked into the commercial vortex that is "valentines day".
The horror...the horror...

I was debating the merits of admitting on this forum that I've told my DH for many, many years that if he gets me anything on V-Day, I'll kill him. The same goes for Mother's Day..I just (scroogishly) call them "Retail Scam Days."

But I am open to nice and frivolous gestures throughout the year, just not on the days retailers would like

An then I wonder how hypocritical I could be if there was a National Love A Bike Day..could be pretty dangerous...

I so agree... way toooooo commercial... like you only show appreciation on one day??

However, if we were to "do" Valentine's Day today (yep, its the 14th here right now), then it is completely appropriate that the race scheduled for this afternoon is a Time Trial... his fave race discipline, my fave race discipline... an excellent way to spend the day together...

Yes, but this vortex means I get dinner out, and maybe new road shoes (I'm not really a roses kind of girl).
