Ouchie

Mono was slick.  Der. Within the first kilometer.  First technical climb. WORST CRASH OF THE YEAR. A beautifully executed, mildly moronic, no-skill, wheel stall tip... ...barreled over, crushed the left mitt and shimmied down the rocks. VICTORY. As fortunes and fate would have it, the pain of this collapse would be short lived. NICE. A prompt and hobbled return to base demonstrated my dubious intentions to re-attempt said climb... This ...

Healing Time Can Be Sexy Time

This was found on TFLN: (410): Saw some pubes in our toilet, hope the new look works out tonight. While quite possibly and not entirely humorous on its own.   Consider, if you dare, some recent events that may or may not have transpired on the Court of Dingle: Unable to Post (stop). Fondling Breasts (stop). Own Breasts (stop). Haven't seen them in 19yrs (stop). The injury incurred (part and parcel with ...

Out of Times

Running late. Suffice it to say that you will be seeing a whole lot more Misfit Empiriphication on the internet already if not some time ago...some of you lucky sob's will even get to keep a little tiny bit of it with you. Those of you with bookmarkers and the like. You're welcome.  While working away madly and madly working away today, we uncovered THIS. Initially and mostly this ...

It could be worse…

Congratulations to the ORIGINAL Big Ring on what was (no doubt) his most tenacious podium snipe EVER... With less than 1 minute separating third from forth, at 17:50, a mere 45 minutes remaining, a mountain would be climbed, a chimera composed. One rider would rise above, reach ever so deep and (ultimately) steal away the muchly coveted final podium spot in the Single Speed Solo category... STOP. Shoulda, coulda, woulda... There isn't a ...

Raiders of the Lost Stock

Watch your empires Watch them die Die by the hands of you Let it Die - Protest the Hero Our most modest of efforts has been rewarded...it would seem that despite all the best intentions and bile attempts (at secrecy) TWO (that is correct) one totally matching pair of BLACK 19" (LARGE) diSSent (Al) frames has been located... Not within the Empire's fatty folds. Not within the Commonwealth of companies. ...

BLENDED SALES TAX MY ASS

Americans, Euros and even you souls in the ROC - you all have the day off. Today's post is purely political and specifically for residents of Ontario. Ontario Provincial Sales Tax Consolidation 2009 provincial budget Chapter III Not sure, don't know, why bother? Here is a somewhat simple article that was forwarded to the Empire with the other tid-bits of webular SPAM (thank you Barry Cocks) concerning the blending DIGITAL JOURNAL. ...

Shoot them in the brains if you want to live…

...shoot them in the brains, even the little kids.

ENTER INSIGHT:  Thunder crack.  It was a dark and stormy night... That pretty much sums up the nut shell that might be the shell containing the nuts what it is that I've been missing all these years.   A killer or be killered instinct. Inappropriate personal reference to which I was recently inadvertently reminded: As it turns out, ...

FAIL!

What a sucking suck of an attempt... Victories: Pace.  Paced well.  Very well.  While that pace was not even remotely close to race pace, even 24hr rider race pace, the pace established was nothing if it wasn't consistent.  A random goal of 20 laps was established in the drive up...pace would allow for 26. Early hydration.  Spot on, energy and fluids to spare.  Bottle a lap. Early cramping and pains.  Despite ...

So Low Again

First two four and well beyond help (of the untangle tangibles) at this point. Summers Family Inc was kind enough to supply supplements, Marta pads and Kicking Horse coffee. Supplements will supplement. Half the pads are now padding.  While the rear was hitchless, alas the front, the retaining bolt thing is stripped...was stripped/is now stripped, tomatoe/tomato.   The ensuing sparks of negligent glory should be a super magnificent ...

Breathalyze Everything People

Tis the night before the LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS. As a first, with a full sleep to go, last night I entertained a full 9 (NINE) hours. While somewhat refreshed there are a few problems with this new-to-me training regiment. I am STILL not in shape I have no bike (the tubes are full of TN sludge) no brake pads no soft fork no rear hub There is an ...

diSSent in the Gnu’s

As a super special prime-time  follow-up to the initial raving reviews of the Misfit Psycles diSSent (Al) (at twentynineinches.com) world wide web reviewer psycloxtraordinary Guitar Ted (Real name apparently withheld to perpetuate midwestern obscurity) passed forth the Psycle-torch to Captain Bob. FULL NEW REVIEW AT: TwentyNineInches TheCyclist ORIGINAL REVIEW(S) AT: TwentyNineInches TheBikeLab The Captain elected a slightly different approach to Ted's "Budget Build"...

You’re Gonna Love My Nuts

Just back from around the way where the Empire presented to a classroom of 33 first graders... Despite frequent distractions, random musings and incongruent assertions, the new recruits were able to follow along with most of what was said. Note:  Ever tried going 45 minutes without administering expletives as punctuation?   "Please use your words Mr Keiller". Sure they loved the diSSent (Fe), loved the talk about riding the REAL Team Dicky, reveled ...

The Best Get Better

More goodies continue to arise out of the trip that was DSG09. Colt from CyclingDirt showed showed a slight repeated fondness for the Empire...  Harlan Price's Indy was missing that little something...as you can see in THIS VIDEO Harlan made the regrettable decision to remove the external sections of the Coaster of Death before the camera started to roll. Misfit Psycles is not never any longer considering our request ...
