The Hawley Blog

Behind Bridal Veil Falls at Dupont after 3 inches of rain. “Raja”, the Dwarf Lioness. (Pre-shapeshift) The new fraternity fashion: Velcro laces. Spied at Great Clips. Mermaid hood-art done completely in White-Out. Awesome! “you need a manicure, Jose Carlo”

Well gentle reader, stories of Interbike debauch have been trickling in. The general theme has something to do with meeting people by coincidence, ingesting foodstuffs provided free of charge, and not having time to visit all the booths. After a cursory verbal survey of the purchasing department, it looks like Hawley might be adding a [...]

Ridley the wunderkitten!Well, I guess we can officially announce that service center lackey and Terrapin Wunderkid Jeremy Edge has moved on to greener pastures. Friday was the tall one’s last day at Hawley so we sent him out with the customary Mexican lunch, pinata, mariachi band and some lovely parting gifts from Black and Decker, [...]

There are things that rock harder then most things rock-related. The Melvins for example. Van Halen. Eric B and Rakim for sure.

How is this Monday treating you as you scurry around like ants while I sit here upon my celestial cycling throne wondering what death, hangovers and uncomfortable silences feel like. It ain’t easy bloggin’ when you’ve got Highlander responsibilities in addition to the usual “mortal”, non-decapitating responsibilities [...]

A brief glimpse into the mind of Andy Hale. Smokey Mountain Red slipped me this telltale scrap from Andy’s desk. Upon it, he has calculated future bicycle part purchases. Even though 200 dollars for a Fizik saddle is disturbing, Andy’s self portrait gives us the heebie jeebies. It’s got the tell-tale faux hawk and the [...]

Well, Joshie has been in San Francisco for umpteen days and we have neither seen nor heard from our intrepid graphics department savant/feral man-child. Who knows what strange, mysterious adventures Joshie has found himself embroiled? Perhaps a trip to Chinatown for the procurement of all-natural “enhancement” herbs has led to more nefarious, unspeakable activities amongst [...]
