A funny think happened this other time... Now anyone that knows anything about Dicky Dillen knows a little something about what this means for the design team at Corporate Psycles. Validation. Here he is and there he was, the man who gets it all (for free), plucks up enough lawyer droppings to buy himself the Misfit Psycles Walz Cap Collection in it's entirety. Of course there were other notable cap ...
In the past and always never, sponsorship deals have simply not worked* for Misfit Psycles. *Not Worked - perhaps in a traditional (brand recognition) sense, but never in a clearly quantifiable (sales) sense. On occasion, it was because we selected the wrong candidate*, probably because they asked us to and we hoped somehow someway something might stick. *Wrong Candidate - no fault of their own, any racer, rider or person ...
Last night, I get the following email; Yes Mike, YES, I REALLY want to return to the TransSylvania Epic in 2013. Before I commit, what I really need is one or more justifiable reasons NOT to attend. You see, I'm afraid if I can't get a good excuse (and soon) it'll be May 26th and I'll be in (or around) State College, expected to ride my bike. I am well and ...
Most cyclists. At most events. Most of the time, are men. Most calendars. On most walls. Most of the time, are women. Scantily and all. MudBunnies. Misfit Psycles decided to change this. By not changing it. Because scantily clad men are of no use to anyone if everyone is being honest. Instead. By reintroducing the MISFIT MVP trading card series. Our choices for 2012 are...lesser...in variety, stature, appeal, charisma, ...
Not because I had one. 2012 Peter was entirely unhung. Facts being as they were (or where not dependant on perspective), what my leisurely solo stroll up 4 O'Clock Rd didn't flush out - my swim to the front door certainly did. Further validating a prior Darwinian order, I shall not ever (perhaps and forever never) be left all and alone to face life-like-tasks. Incapable of simplicity, I will and do, find ...
I'm le tired. No rain. No shit. The people in the following photo looked stupid. As such, they have been removed. What remains is the view from 12,100'. In bigger news: Stage Three 2012 saw the successful completion of Broke Hip Mountain. In a moment of fleeting honesty, I will admit, it wasn't all and entirely intentional. As the deathy black gulch approached with near lightening speed, I veered slightly to ...
Short Wind: Stage One of the BRECK EPIC is done. Not the most climbing and not the longest day of what's to come. Essentially, some time passed, most of which I made the worst of. In the end, many and many people better than I went faster. Long Wind: I slept on a bunk, on a tiny mattress, without a ladder. By no means am I an active sleeper. But. ...
Like the most, I have grown accustomed to enduring tales of whoa whilst travelling. Todays adventures where of the not sort. No lines. No attitudes. No problems. Aside from the majority of this time, which I invested in boredom, I had an opportunity to finalize most all the necessary calculations. Calculations that, while meaningless, would result in thoughts, some of which motivated me towards a process of action that would (...
Within an hour of yesterdays post, Stan's NoTubes answered. Introductions made, digits exchanged, words spoken, questions asked and heads scratched. Stan-service was most knowledgable, predictably, but they also proved excellent in the art of (re)direction. Repeatedly and oft (re)focusing my stabby wit back and unto the more relevant Stan-facts of note. This epic Corporate summit ultimately culminated in decisions being decided and declarations being declared. Mere hours thereafter, ...
The Breck Epic is less than a ways away. Riding, to some extent, has been done. And it's worthy of note as well, I've enjoyed it. Immensely. Finally. Effectively, however, what's done is done. As it pertains to preparation. For me, travel takes over come this July. So, what's left (pre-Epic) will and shall be considered TAPER*. * Look it up, all the pro's do it. It shall be a great ...
The 2012 edition of the BRECK EPIC will be a go in some and so 60 days. For you, there can only be three possible responses; You have entered. You have not entered, you will be doing so, you are just slow. You have not entered, you will not be doing so, you are a pussy. Certainly, if you have entered, you probably and already know that you aren't number ONE. Because ...
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) ...
With any success, that is, a lack of other more interesting success'...I will be knocking down some of the key point PSYCLEGRAPHICS for this 2012. Misfit Psycles Jersey: Thinking the same, but with more black'ish accents and new shoulders blocks and 8-bit Mark Lepper repeats in place of side panel flames... Misfit Psycles T-Shirt: Thinking VADER and DICKY, but with NO wars and NO dick...more THUSLY... Del-Stalk, Anti-Race Poster: ...
(Positive) reviews of Misfit Psycles products are wholeheartedly encouraged... Albeit. Held for review review. Reviews, praise and focus hatred do also and frequently show in other places, in other forms. Emails. Forums. Latenight texts. (Looney, Dicky) Recently, in the comment section of a (new) order appeared this ditty; While praise or insult or vague mis-direction of some limited ilk is not entirely uncommon (in the COMMENTS section) I found this ...
Not unlike something more the norm, today has been declared an off day. While it has been determined a day of necessary rest, I am not entirely certain that it will be one entirely devoid of activity. In unrelated news. I swung by MTBR for a bit. I hate them. I hate this. I hate you. Just like I left it. And. Contrary to what you might think. Not remotely ...
