Finishing up TEAM SNOW this week...the frames done in Pearl white with custom decals are pretty hot. MORE IMAGES HERE The process got me thinking...thinking capital expenses... Why not? Everyone likes to be special...a quick zip clip and bing bang bong...pretty colours without a paper bag and a tube of Testors... While I scour the interweb in an attempt to prove the age olde addage "The ...
Last night I was allowed to partake in some genuine grassroots Wii generation racing. Racing, insomuch as to be a tolerable unit of measure for these riders to assert their respective machismo...without really caring. I should clarify, I said allowed to race because I heard word and showed up...no one stopped me. Little did I know that there was an entire set of rules governing the festivities, baggies, ...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Giddie up little Lowry...giddie up...it was obvious from the start - he was on a mission last night. Frantically pedaling from the gun he started stomping his way to an eventual (slim) first place victory. Perfection was not the only thing on his mind, as a special treat let us join Tom's brain mid second lap: "Every rider is 2 points, every rider is 2 points, every rider is 2 points......
Funny thing. I still hurt today. However, good news abounds...as of late yesterday I was able to hit a reasonable walking pace with enough ramp time and a good tail wind...which (courtesy of 24hrs worth of gel/perpetuem/sustained energy) there is no shortage of. Stopping, turning and negotiating stairs are still best done with a stable pivot or crash helmet. Photos from the 24 are beginning to surface... ...
Nothing could have prepared me for the world of hurt I felt a mere 2hrs into this race...on my second lap something went terribly wrong...cramping quickly and ready to quit by my forth at 4pm...really quiting, not just gawsh golly guys I want to stop...this was helmet off spewing profanity stepping on bugs quiting. I hated riding solo, I hated my partner. Actually nothing could better ...
This is stupid. Really stupid. Stupid like eating a hotdog from a street cart at 3am stupid...
I'm a boy.
It is only a matter of two short days before I will face the Demons of Solstice head on. Loyal readers might be quick to remind me that this singular battle of aloneness will not actually be my first - there was the LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS: Prep After Math 24 After Math 48 But this time, this time it's different. This is as big as it gets in North ...
AKA: 'A Call to Mom and Dad'. Out of necessity and in the interest of fair play, P.I.S.S.E.D. Promoting Immediate Self Sufficiency to End Domination was founded by this brave cyclist (and parent) in the wee hours of June 10, 2008. In case you missed the announcement you can find it HERE. As promised the campaign to end this unspeakable Tom Leachery (not to be confused with ...
The seasons roll on, winter/spring/winter/summer/spring/summer and things happen, sometimes I remember to write them down...other times...not so much. A few more re-caps for you that you may or may not already be aware of your knowing. Spot bought Maverick? Why wasn't I informed? Either way, let's hope we can continue unmolested...for those peoples with outstanding orders, quotes or planned purchases including the ...
Speed wars aside for a moment, the following is a pubic service announcement for immediate and full release!!! Updates in the land of single are few and far between so you need to take note of these most awesome type things: EPIC 8 MTB RELAY - So Low Single Speed Category Not only did the good people of Hardwood Ski and Bike see fit to allow us dastardly single speeders into ...
Response to THE SOUND OF ONE LEG FALLING was swift and decisive this past week. By decisive I mean nothing that would constitute a complete loss. Both Sunday's Canada Cup and yesterday's Tuesday Series of Death netted solid performances. How was your hero able to stem the supposed tsunami of mini-me muckrakers...was it a nutritional twist? cross training? or a single minded desire to decimate the detractors? Yes. Yes ...
