More Important Matters

Following some singular pressuring and a promise of greater social (media) glory, I've decided to permit STRAVA access to my rides. Strava appears to be the simplest way to track my triumphant return to more regular riding. What's more; It's free. It's an app. It's easy to use. I am a strong proponent of each of these descriptors. Perfect? Notsofast. Following but a one and single ride (one that was ...

That’ll Do Pig

With lesser time than patience we (being the royal I) are going to call the latest epic instalment in the "WordPress AutoUpgrade vs Misfit Psycles Curiosity vs WordPress Version vs Plugins vs Themes battle du jour" - Good Enough. And by Good Enough I really do mean meh with a capital whatever. I'm not entirely please with the (new) layout. Possibly because it's different. I'm not entirely pleased with the ...

What A Balls

Somewhat and surprisingly delayed on (another) project of great urgency, I once again depressed the UPGRADE AUTOMATICALLY button on the LIESENSHITE admin panel. What you see is nay the result. The result was a white screen.  Front (this) and back (admin). It seems my (modified) (perhaps too the muchly modified) theme GRAPHENE  was GRAPHUCKED. Fast forward. I'm trying a lottle of this lot of that to make something stick that ...

It’s Been Said

That I've lost my ability to write within the context of the content expected of a bicycle (and component and general awesome) manufacturer...and cyclist. Lost. Lost? The fuck exactly were you reading these weeks or years back (when you thought all wasn't lost)? So.  For that.  As a treat. That is, in an attempt to provide more of that the expected content, I gave task to my three (in-house) ...

Lessons Learned from the Be(a)st

There are multiple types and forms of services that we (the consumer) will compare and/or purchase in any given day. Some of the more obvious types would be; Necessities - housing, utilities, food, clothing. We (the consumer) marginally control the price paid and quality of service received.  Price and quality are ultimately dictated by either regulation or the availability of competitive options (within) a set budgetary range. Luxuries - ...

I Didn’t get that Memo

Another in the series of Tuesdays has fallen. I've previously and ostensibly made INVALID individual race "results" (as they pertain to OVERALL CHAMPION OF THE WORLD - me). As such, the hows and wheres of my exact placement are unimportant. I rode up. Fast.  Really super fast.  Stop at the top and hold my chest where my heart would be fast. I raced. Fast.  Relative to me fast.  Faster than ...

As Always, As Planned

My prior and pre-race advanced write-up was, without exception - as expected, entirely accurate. For the sake of content I will replay the highlights. I raced. I finished last. I probably deserved worse. I forced my offspring to endure it all. I paid 50 (Canadian) Dollars for the humility. Hazzah and all stop. There is one upside to the OCUP series. Forced awake by the crack of 0730, the Keiller Boys Three (...

Predictions of Marginality

Ontario Cup number two is set for the near and not so distance future*. Even the so, I have some strong opinions and resignations concerning the impending results.  Official and otherwise. While I could await the inevitable, that wouldn't be very me. Instead.  I will publish mine experiences now and merely edit in the unlikely event that the proverbial shit-apple falls further than expected from the shit-tree. * This is true ...

Ailments Through The Ages

The case could be made that, through and with time, our bodies ability to withstand beatings and batterings subsides. With age comes the inevitability of weakness. This is something a more the younger me would say. And, as I normally was, I would (have) been correct. About the other older people. They say; What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. They say this amidst your suffering, possibly in the spirit ...

House Cleaning

With the recent resumption of (some measure of) riding, I am finding that my down times, seem to be all that much more then they were. Down. That is. Meaning. What was my previously over-flowing schedule has become somewhat all the more. Doubly so. The main additions being, ONE (cycling) something I really want to do and TWO (exhaustion) this (of course) is something I cannot avoid so long as ...
