Headsweats
During the summer I sweat profusely while cycling and it begins to leave large enough salt crystals on my glasses that I can no longer see. A few years ago, I bought a Halo sweatband that worked pretty well, but I have heard really great things about the Headsweats so I figure I should probably give it a try and compare the two. I don't think the color or the size matter too much. It is mostly hidden under my helmet and I have a fairly normal size head so either the one-size or adjustable are fine.

Sport Headphones
I'd like to try listening to music while I do long rides on my own. I would also like to have my iPhone tell me when I should make a turn. The problem is being able to hear the phone when it is sitting in my jersey pocket. They now make headphones that allow you to hear the traffic noise around you. If they work then it would make long silent rides and missed turns a thing of the past. Here is one option. And here is another. There may be other alternatives out there, but these look like some of the better ones that are still somewhat reasonably priced.
Mophie Juice Pack Plus
Since I just got the new iPhone 5S. I need to get some accessories for it. The #1 item I need for it is an external battery case. The 5S has a decent battery life, but for some of the rides I do while using the GPS I need a bit more battery than what it comes with. I had a Mophie for my last phone and it was awesome so I would like to get one for this phone also. Here is the page describing the one I want (Black). You can usually find it cheaper on Amazon, but there has been a little bit of an issue of counterfeit Mophies there. If you decide to use the Amazon link just ensure that the seller has a good rating. If there is a problem, Amazon is excellent at dealing with those sorts of issues.

Wallet
My current wallet is on its last legs. It is a coach wallet that I have had for about 20 years. I would like another similar one. Once I find it I will put a link to it here. (I believe Janine is getting this for me)
Wahoo Speed and Cadence Sensor
Another product from Wahoo... How can I turn them down with a name like that? This is needed to totally replace my current bike computer. I constantly watch my instant speed (as opposed to GPS speed) and my cadence (how fast I'm spinning my legs) to give me information on whether I should shift. This all begins to get a bit expensive compared to my current computer set up, but it is a lot cheaper than going with some of the GPS based computer systems. It will also work a whole lot better than even the best of those systems.
Wahoo RFLKT
Besides the fact that it has a great name. This is something I have been waiting a long time for. It successfully combines the phone apps I use to record and analyze my bike rides with the computer that goes on my bike. It will also make it so I can control music from the computer when I do long solo rides.

Road ID
I have something similar to this that I keep on my bike, but it is falling apart already and I'm never really trusted the info on it anyway. This is a much more permanent way to carry contact information in case of emergency. Just the elite (the normal one gets stinky) original version in black with Mom's and Dad's home and mobile phone numbers would be good. I guess I still haven't grown up if I still put my parents numbers as my emergency contact!
Cold Weather Cycling Jersey
I want to do a lot more cold weather cycling this year. I have started accumulating some good gear, but if I want to ride more without washing every day then I need a bit more gear! Here is a good Jersey that would be great to have in the inventory. Medium always works well for me

Range Bag
This would be a good case to have to take the gun and other stuff back and forth to the range.
Ammo Box
More stuff for the new gun... I would also like some of these plastic boxes for Ammo. It seems like a better way than the flimsy cardboard boxes that the shells come packaged in.
.45 ACP Ammunition
The one thing about a .45 is that it costs a lot per round. I'm sure I will always be looking for more Ammo for this gun. I plan on shooting it a lot over the next few months at the range, so I am really looking for good range rounds. This one looks pretty good. I know nothing about this web site though.
SIG P220 Magazines
I just bought a new Sig Sauer P220 .45 Caliber handgun. It came with 2 eight round magazines, but it would be nice to have 2 more of them. There are probably better/cheaper places to get them than this link, but this is a start.
