The Hawley Blog

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

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 [...]

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 [...]
