    I think a bike ride together sounds awesome. But who needs a stinkin' holiday to do that?

    Since it is also our anniversary, we're dinner-n-a-movie-ing. I think Slumdog Millionaire...
    I can do five more miles.

    For the most part, we don't 'do' Valentines day but I think a side by side bike fitting is a very 'fitting' way to celebrate!

    Our very first Valentines day together after we met, we got each other the exact same gift...we'd only known each other 5 months, so it was a little freaky. Ever since then, we don't celebrate with gifts since we can't top that first one even if we tried.

    Besides, my birthday is a few days before Valentines and I don't like it to be watered down by a Halmark holiday anyway.

    (ps - I got sleek, sexy, black...WHEELS for my birthday! )

    That is a great idea!!! Besides, who says you cant have both. A side-by-side massage sounds pretty appealing after cycling mile & miles.

    I know I'm not getting Roses, Chocolate or Jewelry because everything my hubby has mentioned looking at for me is Cycling or Tri related. Maybe I will get clipless pedals & road shoes or signed up for my first ironman? That's plenty romantic to me!

    Heh, I sent my ldr honey a box with chocolate AND Gu. For his b-day, I'm going to get him Pro 3 tires to match the new bike he built up. For Christmas he got me Ultegra brakes, front and rear!

    Sigh. Roadies are SO romantic!!

    I like the idea of side-by-side fittings. I can't say that a side-by-side massage appeals to me. When I get a massage, I'm looking for therapy, not romance.

    My BF is making a nice dinner for me on Saturday. And we got each other "Snuggies" (as seen on TV) for Valentines's Day. I'm thrilled. His house is always freezing! I also got him a Thai cookbook and he got me an immersion blender. We do nice things for one another all the time, so Valentine's Day isn't so much a holiday as it is an excuse to eat more!

    Indy- I will be officially jealous of you the rest of the day. I get blankets every year for Christmas from my MIL to combat my cold nature but what I really want is a Snuggie. My birthday is 2/17- I told my husband, my mom, my brother. Come on guys, get me a Snuggie! I even told me co-worker how much I want one and she has been laughing at me for a week.

    Since DH doesn't lurk here he is getting Dark Chocolate, maybe a special 6 pack of beer and cycling socks. We can't afford much else this year with that huge vet bill we had and honestly he wants cycling socks and loves Dark Chocolate or new beers. Now if only he gets me a Snuggie- should I PM all of you his email.
