Apparently rugged and windswept doesn’t cut it anymore.
I can safely say that this marketing hype bullshit is being ignored. I’m not even sure if it’s aimed at me and my unwavering self-confidence in my ruggedly handsome looks, or my wife, hoping that she’ll go out and spend spend spend.
Whatever happened to chicks dig scars? Especially […]
I stumbled across the Mark, Ruth and a pair of Pompinos blog the other day, which has been a right good read as they say around here.
It even had my loins stirring for a bit of lightweight cycle touring, something I’ve not done for nearly ten years now.
Read it, and be inspired.
Reading Guitar Ted he pointed out a 1993 article by Chris Kostman “Mountain Bikes: Who Needs Them?”.
I routinely dust every mountain biker I encounter on the trail. And I ride a road bike.
Furthermore, I think, no, I know, the mountain bike is the most over-rated, most improperly used, most over-built, and most greedily promoted piece […]
I’ve always referred to those fit as fuck but technically inept racers that you find at the back of Sports class racers as faffers.
Fits nicely with the dictionary definition of faffing too.
But what to call those unfit and technically inept riders that you see pushing over any and every obstacle on the trail?
Fortunately one of […]
Now online.
Too late for second thoughts now :-o
Update - 31st July
It’s full.
Blimey that was bonkers fast.
Turns out Sundays ride took my mileage for this year past last years pitiful, if excusable, total.
“Wooh!” and indeed “Yeah!” as I imagine excitable Californians might say.
The ingredients for todays ride.
I woke up late and with all the faff of getting ready for the ride I ended up going out of the door with no more sustenance than a cup of strong black coffee.
I wanted to try samuri’s Block The Bike route.
It was one of the steepest climbs I’ve tackled in […]
Kirsty wants to get her race shape back.
Since she hung up her racing wheels after the 2003 Dusk ‘Til Dawn to continue on eventing she’s not really missed the biking much.
She loves to ride my old Turner Burner for the odd fun ride, and she happily comes to races to act as groom/support, but she’s […]
This weekend.
Good luck to all the cheeksters taking part.
Update:
Fucksocks.
I’ve been rather harsh in the past about the handling of Fishers.
Seeing as they are about as responsive as oil tankers on downers I think I was pretty fair.
Looks like someone at Trek finally realised that Genesis 1.0 wasn’t all it was cracked up to be either.
Enter stage left Genesis 2.0.
Not that Gary had time […]

Actually we‚re lying about the Maverick since some low-life stole it.
A dogs dinner of links to stuff that we have arranged in an apparently random manner, though I assure you it made sense at the time.
You know it makes sense.

It doesn't update from the wheels of steel though :-)
Remember kids, vinyl can't carry Digital Rights Management.
in no particular order...
For all that we like the up-to-the minute offerings of the web there‚s nothing like a proper badly photocopied A5 fanzine or a glossily printed proper magazine to keep you occupied on the throne. Here, in no particular order, is our material of choice.
In the UK as we give away our civil liberties in the name of freedom it might be handy to be aware of Photographers Rights.
Don’t let The Man stop you shooting.
If anyone has a full set of NEMBA results (that‚s North of England for you colonial types) then please forward them.
