Tis’ the end of the week! Huzzah! We hope you have extricated yourself from the week-long toil Dame Fortune has chosen to manacle yourself to for the foreseeable future. Whether it’s goose-throttler or bundle-hurler, widow-napper or carriage polisher, your gainful employment and the small pittance you earn and take to your local cyclery for the [...]

(CLTH6711)The Blog has girded its feet in many a lightweight, “breathable” sock for the oppressive summer morning commutes this season. As quality laundry time has been at a premium, The Blog was scraping the bottom of the barrel of the sock drawer this morning until gold was struck in the form of a forgotten pair [...]

Interesting, from Bradley Wiggins. By the way, “Wiggin’ Out” would be a great name for his blog. Is that term even used in the UK? : Interesting tweet from Shaq concerning Marbury’s vaseline-eating meltdown (feel free to google it). Pretty sure you would never see Tom Danielson eating a handful of chamois butter, but then [...]

This Sunday saw Jeremy attempt his first ORAMM. This morning, Dr. J referred to it as a “character builder”. Not sure what he meant by that, but he had a good time and didn’t kill himself on Kitsuma or Heartbreak! It was good seeing all sorts of kind folk from the blogosphere. Even Dicky rolled [...]

Is that a Principal Skinner quote? Can’t remember, brain cortex packed…full…of Zaxby’s…difficult…to type. Ugh. Anyhoo, some of us Hawley folk are doing the ORAMM thing this weekend while at least one of us (Jeremy) is actually racing. Pretty sure the lanky leprechaun, the freckled freak, the Southern Dandy, the Origami-Mommy is coming into late season [...]

He’s leaving his team at the end of the season so maybe he’d like to leave The Tour with a bang, or something gross in the toilet at the team hotel? What does that have to do with inflatable toast or Unicorn vengeance? More than you know, more than you know…
