Nothing brings an office together like ping pong. Nothing brings together an IT department like the prospect of hunting homeless people for sport. In lieu of “the most dangerous game”, Dr. Philgood and Brian (Life Of) take to the paddles for a secret match to determine IT supremacy in a world on the verge of [...]

A few Hawley folk traveled up to Asheville to throw down at the Gentlemen’s Race hosted by an anonymous Cane Creek stooge. The first KOM sucked, the following time trial was abhorrent, the Avery Creek KOM was diabolical and the slimy paste of Gatorade and road dust on my water bottle’s spout made each swallow [...]

Just a quick glance at a couple interesting things on Pete’s (Cane Creek honcho) bike from Saturday’s race: New Old Stock Campy CrankForm over function water “bottle” which was changed out before the time trial… and never seen again

Heavy hearts yesterday after Brantley sent this link about a down-but-not-out cyclist friend of The Hawley Company who was hit. Get well soon Todd! We shall save you a spot in the ping pong tournament, but you will still have to pay the outrageously high entry fee. Pay close attention to some of the comments [...]

Roland:It haunts my dreams:For some reason, Argentina has been on The Blog’s mind of late. Perhaps it all started during my week-long sojourn along the Appalachian Trail as I searched for piece of mind amongst the bucolic splendor of the great outdoors. Alas, it was not to be found as the trappings of modern life [...]

(Crucial.)The Blog was supposed to write about the Blue and Red Sugino track cranks we just got in and its correlation to Jerry’s (receiving) ping pong prowess. However, Lil’ E up at Cane Creek slipped this nugget of joy into my inbox this morning. Pretty sure it has spread like wild fire across the interwebular [...]

(Hobo Symbology Guide)Riding around town is always full of surprises. Whether it’s a decaying squirrel carcass hidden beneath a brown paper bag in the middle of Assembly street that you run over by accident only to discover bright red squirrel gore splattered on the downtube of your bicycle or the traffic light at the corner [...]

Canoe Help Me?

Oh the canoe, what a wondrous and useful invention. Some would say more so than the bicycle. The first one, constructed in the Netherlands was made back somewhere between 7500 and 8200 BC. Of course, Brantley would say he made them well before that to transport his cat urine moonshine. Unfortunately no-one besides him had [...]

… belongs to Brian Comley (purchasing)! Brian’s 1.1 proved to be quite the troublesome frame to shoot. Bad lighting conditions and its uber-stealth carbon fiber meant it was doing the Ole Disappearin’ act. Oh well, although these pics are sub-par, you get the drift. Brian is from Ohio, therefore The Blog thought it appropriate to [...]
