Fully and completely aware that reviews for the second and (to some extent) the first stage have not yet been published. Anywhere. Perhaps starting article #1 for Bike Mag with "Fuck" was a miscalculation. Perhaps they just haven't gotten around to it. Stage 3. 9100' of climbing. 12,200' of vertical. Crossed the continental divide, twice. At mile 14 I experienced my very first flat in NINE stages of the Breck Epic. Terminus endus ...
Evidently tired of painting carbon things red in an effort to increase sales, NINER has invoked some recent old news as it's current marketing campaign. (Near) team rider Team Dicky commented; "It's about time. I've been asking for more heat seeking lazer shit or rocket propelled explosive-type crap for years." Bike Rumo(U)r bossman, Tyler (and rider of a Bush edition Jet at Breck), had this to say; "I'm ...
The how and what that are Breck Epic Stage 1 may or not make the pages of LIESNSHITE. As it turns out, Mike McCormack may or may not have whored my thoughts out to BIKEMAG. Of course I am incapable of 'professional' grade thoughts. Altering point of perspective is not an option. So. In the event that the bile I spew forth to BIKE isn't...appropriate...I will cut and paste ...
Got an email from Mike McCormack in the wee hours (last night, this morning). Too late to make a matter on stage 1. Certainly, anything I needed to know would have been discussed at the racer meeting(s). Racer meetings are meetings for racers, when you miss the racer meeting (for missing the meeting that discussed racer meetings at some other point) it makes it very difficult to ascertain details of ...
Baggage, customs. The mass retardation of the entire human race. Upgrade to First Class. Delayed baggage. The whole fucking flight. Upgraded car rental. Forgot POS digital camera. All pink sexiness of it. Reading "Shit My Dad Says". Parking lot build. Predictable realization of (previous) brake bleed fail. Fifteen minute parking lot (dirty) flush. Altifuckingtude. Pillow to the face. Equipment and gear check. 06:45 breakfasts and 08:10 starts. Every. Fucking. Day. Tent out. ...
Time to moving casually away from the Heinous Hong Kong Hustle. Almost. I was (re)(in)spired by the link in Anthony's comment. If I can actually get my shit together (long) enough to ship two frames to Whitehorse...no, YES...the map. The world is just too fucking flat for this frame to simply disappear. No. Something less specific, a Niner or a kitten, maybe. I must say that ...
Karma. Karma Chameleon. Karma could be your religion. A justification for the past, a call to action for future. A cosmic balance of all Unskilled (bad) and Skilled (good) interactions. Karma provides death-bed seniors with mega digit lottery winnings. Reward for some (past) axiomatic right(s). Karma requires I tread a stew of entrails to eek out a meger existance. Punishment for some (past) inferred wrong(s). Events of this ...
HOT AUGUST NIGHTS: August 28-29, 2010 Albion Hills, Bolton, ON Misfit Psycles Presents: The Really Big Dance Party And: Big Fat Team of Flaming Terror. The big fat list; Scott Mount Del Grams Kyle Smith Kim Jones Marc Risdale Craig Barlow Erica Sprules ??? ??? ??? (Me*) * I know I have missed names, otherwise and eitherway, there is space so email. I am currently extremely tentative...I was planning on returning for the opening ...
Best case plans for this (the last) week were simple. Train (wreck) above and beyond. Thereby salvaging a sliver of fucking hope, an opportunity for dignity and (perhaps) redemption at the upcoming BRECK EPIC. Plans included six of seven days of riding. Plans consisted of nine individual rides. Plans amounted to 360 km road. Plans pushed 150km dirt. To exhaustion. Violently over the big top and then gently down upon a ...
FINALLY, something about me myself and I on the Bike RumoUr. Peter Keiller. Cyber Famous. And what do you know, unlike our psycle-long friend RICH (dick) DILLEN and perennial DIRT RAG, Tyler managed to KEEP the pselling of PSYCLE correct...yes I never thanked you Dicky for fucking up the spelling in my one and ONLY mention in Dirt Rag in like years...super. (Link or Image unavailable at press ...
Unable to locate my BIKERUMOuR Breck Media Cup uber profile I was forced (by boredom) to scroll those hallowed pages in search of greater news on lesser fortunates. Nothing so much. It has been suggested that Lance Armstrong is JUST NOW a person of interest in the federal doping investigation...Lance promptly responds by buying up shares in stale pancakes and stuffs FREE samples in the agape mouths of stunned ...
Days made better by bike. Tolerable. Nuisances, annoyances, bothers and other drivel imposed thusly by the mindless, by fates or by cause all taste a little less bitter considered in the context cycledom. This mornings commute was particularly feisty. Partially powered by regret, regret over an entirely sedentary weekend. A weekend of inactivity justified (in part) by contrast to a week (mostly but already) devoid of riding. A weekend fuelled ...
4PRINT made a special delivery yesterday afternoon... ...obviously THEY are sensitive to my scrunched schedule. Made of some very impressive plastic type stuff. Stuff they told me extensibly about, they used words and phrases. It came highly recommended I do remember that... ...and I remember it's the same material as the race plates they make. Damage them I could not they claimed.
While minding my own business and busying myself appropriately... ...I was reminded of something else I hadn't done. Why must I be badgered by commitments, continually confronted by ALL the things I have yet to do? What about some positive reinforcement? What about all the SUPER things I HAVE done? Good job getting up today! Way to go making those boxes! Awesome work brewing coffee! You are wicked at answering ...
In previously suggested news Thomas has managed to complete more flat pictures with even more squared numbers. That is a way in which to convert the masses, singlespeed for all, without lazy springs or other annoyances. Combining the best of the worst and proving beyond any bewildered doubt, more is almost certainly less when you don't understand the first part to begin with. Prototypes, samples and subsequent global domination to ...
